If I measure the tires on my car 3 times I will get 3 different readings many times. I'm not sure why. Compared to other gauges out there I like this the best. Yes I did order the rubber protector and yes, I think you do need it. I also agree it should come installed on the gauge. Just like everyone else has stated. I'm not sure why the readings change from one measurement to the next but it's not that big a deal.

Pros: -Excellent readability for an analogue device -No batteries needed -Very accurate Cons: -A little spendy -Hose is a bit cumbersome to use -Plastic cover is delicate Conclusions: I like this tire gauge a lot. It's easy to read, use, and doesn't need batteries. My only complaints is that I find the hose a little annoying sometimes (it's not very flexible). Also, when you use the air vent the dial is a little inaccurate when it reads the pressure again (usually about 1psi off). Though, this could be because the hose is always flexing against you and can sometimes make you lose your seal on the tire. Furthermore the plastic cover for the gauge can pop-off sometimes, though it can go back on and doesn't seem to affect the readings. It would be 5 stars if it was either cheaper or a little sturdier.

I was tired of tire gauges that weren't accurate or didn't make a good seal, so I read pretty much all the reviews of all the gauges and ended up with the Moroso. It has a good feel, and unlike some reviews, I don't find it flimsy. I did get the rubber cover. It is a pleasure to use: the seal to the valve is tight and immediate, and the pressure is displayed legibly and accurately. I had a lithium digital gauge and this is a huge improvement. Sometimes "old school" is the best!
