View attachment 15706 Just bought this one this morning.

Likely an updated version of rocmar's. Impressive construction for $9 (Autozone), all-metal except for the cute little ATV tire armor.

Also picked up an 18"-- 1/2" drive breaker bar and a 19mm deep socket to carry as a lug wrench. $18 for both. Ain't Snap-on, but guaranteed for life, and slips nicely into the tool bag.
Plus....Sledge...
yours works also as a spare

I can agree to this::::
if you know your ride &
are an experienced rider
you can tell....where your at on your tires
Exactly! I try to run 9 lbs and I check it with that same Slime gauge. Gets it close anyway. If it looks and feels too soft I add air, zero bulge at the bottom and stiff, let a little out. All about feel to me, regardless of what that gauge says.
