Can you read pressure guage while inflating tire...or do you have to turn compressor off first and then read guage?

You can definitely read the pressure gauge while inflating the tire - I actually used it so that I know when to turn it off. I have had mine for quite awhile now and it is still as accurate as using a separate tire gauge.

The gauge is not accurate while the compressor is running. It is not totally accurate, even when it is not running. That is, not as accurate as a good quality dial gauge. I say this because I have several gauges, and all the round (dial) gauges read the same value,and the other ones (bar gauge, digital gauge, and the compressor's gauge) are off by a psi or two.Your best bet is to double check the compressor's gauge with a good quality dial gauge. It will be off by some constant, and once you know what that is, you can correct the compressor's reading by that.

The compressor will be close enough to you...that you will be able to read the gauge on it. Enjoy it !

Gauge is inaccurate during inflation. Compressor must be turned off to get true reading.

Yes--you can bleed off pressure without unhooking it. What I am unsure about is how high the supply pressure can be without damaging the unit. i.e. can the air compressor be at 90 PSI while you are trying to fill a tire to 32 PSI

This comes with an air gauge that can be used to deflate - pushing the button on the side of the gauge releases air. Another option is an automatic deflator .. http://www.amazon.com/Staun-SCV5-Tire-Deflators/dp/B000FPYEUC/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1394139846&sr=1-1&keywords=staun+tire+deflators

it is written on the side of every tire manufactured in the us. check the sidewall for a box saying maximum reccomended load xxxx kg at xx kpa xxxx lbs a xx psi only use the us units unless you are farmilia with the metric. all pressures should be taken cold

,Dial goes to 280. Red zone starts at 200. I have a bike tire I air to 100 psi. Works great. Schumacher service is way over the top good. I would recommend you buy it. I have one and gifted one. On psi, I attempted to air bike tire at service station buttheir compressor only went to 70 psi.

Mine accurately measures whatever pressure is in the tire up to 60 psi. Either you have a faulty gauge or you have only 15 psi in your tire.

I concur with Mr. Pandos. The included instruction manual notes, "Use only with 12V/10A power source." I have one tire with a slow leak, and have not blown a fuse while "topping it off". But I did blow a 20A fuse when I was inflating my spare tire (a donut or mini-spare in a 2000 Saturn SL2). It should be inflated to 60psi (if I recall correctly). Consequently it took longer to inflate than any of the 4 main tires. It did get fairly warm (perhaps this should have been my first clue). I was not running the engine at the time, but I'm not sure whether or not that had anything to do with the fuse blowing. I concur with Mr. Pandos.

Both. If you push the trigger button, it will clear the reading and/or switch between measuring units. Also, you can press the valve against the tire fill valve and it will instantly clear the reading and measure the next pressure reading.

It is an air gauge for filling inflatable tires. It must be used with a compressor

As far as I know, readout is instantaneous. it would have to be to warn of a tyre suddenly losing pressure.

I'm not sure what you are asking but the gauge snaps into a normal air fitting and I can leave the compressor running. The air into the tire is controlled by the inflator lever and the end that going onto the valve stem locks into place and holds itself there until it is released. Sorry but I hope this helps

How is it used? you mean how to use it? Just plug the tire inflator to the air hose. and hold end of hose to the valve stem to pump air. how is the quality? It works good on car tire. it pump air quite fast. i've had it for about 2 months now. it still pump air as it was new. gauge is still reading accurately. i've used it to pump a portable air can to 100psi. I mean it works good for that price on sale. I like it.

The owners manual gives you instructions on how to reset. You don't need a tool. You may just need to deflate each tire in the order given.

The gauge will not read pressure while your adding air. When you release the lever it should read the tire pressure. I'm a professional mechanic & have used mine on cars & heavy duty trucks. Pressures ranging from 30-120psi. The gauge has always been very accurate. Milton is at the top for quality for many years. Hope this helps.

After checking a tire pressure the reading on the gauge stays until the gauge goes into the " automatic shut off " then the reading disappears. Also, the reading will disappear if another pressure check is made immediately after the first check which will remain until the auto shut off occurs. The gauge does not have memory storage that can be reviewed to record pressure changes. A good example recently I had a tire with a very slow leak....I had to write down the tire pressure to compare the next test the next day to see if pressure was lost over night. It would be nice if the gauge had a small memory to compare readings. Other that that it seems to be an accurate gauge. Hope this answers your question.

I use my compressor to fill my bicycle and car tire w/o problems. Make sure you set the pressure with the dedicated gauge/knob to the desired/limit pressure of what you are inflating. This compressor is a great buy for the money.

You're better off using a portable powered inflator with a gauge for your motorcycle. I have one of these:http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/compact-air-compressor-with-lightit's got a built in LED on it too, i've used this thing countless times on my bike. If I ride with people I encourage them to check their pressure and adjust prior to us taking off. This thing is great, just attaches to the SAE adaptor affixed to your battery.
