Boobie inspector
Bought this on impulse a few months ago, dont know why, since most places have free air for your tires anyway, but I think it was only a fiver or something.
So today after finally finding the book that tells me what tire pressure I should have on my car, I go to get the compressor out.
The instructions harp on and on about making sure your tires are only filled to the correct pressure, in my case 33PSI.
This compressor has a one inch dial, with numbers going from 0 to 250 in 20s.
So not only is 33 not on there, but it is somewhere in the tiny fraction of an inch between 20 and 40.
Not only that but when I connect the valve the pressure from my tire says its over 40, before I have even turned the compressor on.
So the thing is both hard to read, impossible to judge accurately, it isnt even calibrated right, unless the tires I haven't had inflated since summer have actually become more inflated on their own.
Moral of story, don't buy things on impulse at the garage unless its a wispa bar
