Got it on ebay.de when I was in Germany for 12 Euros. The ones I saw on ebay.in looked like plastic toys

guys,these pumps generally costing 450 etc dont last long and are not too reliable. I suggest buying SLIME air pump. its expensive at 1750 but really worth the money.

I have not used it for inflation from a flat tyre but have used it to top up the air. It takes apprx 2-3 min.

ps: sorry for so many gramatical errors in the last post, will post more carefully.

What manufacturer says is the recommended pressure based on the tyre specification, the unladed weight of the car and measured when tyres are cold. You could safely go plus or minus 2 psi based on your driving comfort.

To make sure that you are putting in desired pressure, fill in air within 1-2 kms of driving (so that the tyres are still cold). Also note that most pumps dont show correct pressure on their gauges. It is always good to have a tyre pressure checker or a compressor at home. See posts above

One of my friends is coming down from the US.

Is this tyre pressure gauge worth the $12, or can we get something similar here for the same price.

The price coming for this gauge is $12 = Rs.516 (12x43) with free 2 day shipping.

Dont know about this gauge you mention. But I have been using a Campbell Hausfeld inflator-cum-gauge-cum-flashlight for years now (It also has adaptors to pump air in footballs and stuff). And I think it costs less than 20$. If your friend can source it, it is a good investment. See pics below.

^^That is a excellent product, but unfortunately it'll be a little bulky for him as he's already run out of space and he has warned me that no big stuff :(

I have exactly the same pump since about 1.5 years. I got it from a Carrefour in Malaysia. I've used it 2 or 3 times - never from a total flat situation - works fine.
