I bought 3 of the AutoMeter 2343 gauges when this post came out. Nice looking gauge, fits my hand & seems to be accurate. It wasn't too long before the tip fell out of the first one, then the next & the last one of the three. I could put it back in & it would function. Then one fell out & it was lost. Gauge now toast, so tossed it. I was constantly twisting the tip to get the right angle to seal on the valve stem. I still have two and they work, just not handily. Fix the tip so it stays in and make the tip straight instead of an angle and it would be a better tool.
