OTC 5613 Vacuum/Pressure Gauge Kit

Box and Black plastic Case DamagedZero keeps changing its place.Zero cannot be adjusted having wrong reading.I purchased because it is an OTC productNot satisfied.

The OTC gauge measures approximately 100mm in diameter including its protective hard outer plastic shroud which I’d like to see a little wider to absorb any real world knocks..It has a clip attached at the rear for hanging the gauge and with the clever use of a Blue colored face and White markings and dial, it makes this combination ideal for reading both Vacuum and Fuel Pressure on the one convenient gauge..It comes neatly arranged in a suitably compact plastic carry case to protect your investment. Inside It also contains a 600mm rubber hose and a plasticTee piece, a hose to hose joining piece,a plastic adapter and a metal fitting to make connecting the Vacuum gauge easier.Whether these fittings are suitable for fuel,I have not tested that yet.The Vacuum and Pressure gauge reads primarily in Imperial on the outside and Metric on the inside, just the way I like it! Vacuum reads 0-30 inches of Mercury in 5 inch increments and one inch finer markings in between for precise measurements and O-70cm of Hg in a similar incremental layout. Pressure primarily reads from 0-15psi in 5 psi increments then more precise 0.5psi markings in between and 0-100kPa reading in increments of 20kPa and finer 5kPa increments for more precise readings.The pressure scale could be used to read fuel pressure on older vehicles with a mechanical /diaphragm fuel pumps.The only thing a little annoying is the gauge rattles a little but easily fixed with a small daub of plasticine between the gauge lens and the shroud .Overall ,OTC makes a reliable and accurate gauge that any professional mechanic or technician would want to own and at an affordable price.

Works good, seems to be of good quality materials. My only complaint is that once the hose is attached it's very difficult to remove (that part is not my complaint!), and the only place to put the hose is in a small cutout underneath where the gauge lies, meaning you have to precariously coil up the hose, place it in it's spot, run the remaining hose in it's little groove, and place the gauge back on top without upsetting any of the hose (it's a challenge!!!). Not a huge deal, just a minor annoyance.

Muy bueno, para revisar vacío, buena calidad

This is a well sorted and good value tool from OTC. It also comes with sensible fittings and a high quality fitted case. The gauge is nice and large, has a protective rubber covering, and a nice hanging hook. The main scale thankfully reads inches of mercury on the vacuum side and pounds per square inch on the pressure side (a smaller inner scale reads cm Hg vacuum, and kPa pressure). The gauge is fairly easy to read, the pointer zeroes well after use, and the readings seem to be both accurate and consistent.The blue dial with white scale is slightly off-putting but not really a problem, especially considering that some of the exact same OTC tools are being sold as big brand name tools like Mac only at much higher prices! The blue seems to be a feature of all the OTC dials. Chinese production does NOT make the tools inferior, but it does make them great value.Basic instructions (only) are pasted on the underside of the case lid. There is even a proper label on the outside of the case to describe the tool within, a nice touch. Don't buy acme branded rubbish when decent and very functional OTC gear is available at such good prices. A premium priced Snap On equivalent tool would work no better really... more important to know how to use one properly! An easy recommendation
