Finally, a good tire gauge at reasonable cost

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.

That sounds strange Jerry. I have three of the AutoMeter 2343s too and never had a problem with the tip. I also have the AutoMeter 2160 that I keep in the garage. I like it better and easier to use and see the pressure since it has the hose. When I bought it years ago it was $8 less, but it is still a good buy today.

I think I figured out the problem! I'm left handed and the gauges are right-handed. Does that mean they are not handicap accessible? You "righties"
have it made. You should see the contortions I have to do to sign one of those credit card screens, left handed and upside down

Obviously it's really not a big deal to me. a drop or 2 of Loctite would take care of the loose tip. I just need to get a round tuit!

Jerry, ha ha! I?m a leftie too, but I check tire pressure with my right. I?m a weird leftie or maybe not a ?real?
leftie? I only eat and write with my left and everything else is right-handed. [emoji12][emoji1360]🤙🏼
