I've seen these around. Can't imagine what you'd use them for. Only go up to 100PSI in readings, only work with schrader valves and they're not fixed. You may as well spend less money on a better, fixed gauge. That's what I think anyway.

Looks cool, although I'd guess it isnt near as accurate as they say...

Also the same stuff as crowley says...
