We use one of these for the race cars, handy as we overinflate them before when on the compressor then let them down at the meeting with the release valve, saves me lots of foot pumping... Which leaves more time for polishing

Yup came this morning - nice piece of kit. The 'live' bleed makes it simple to accurately deflate to the required pressure.

1. Nice and flexible allowing you to get to hard to reach valves.
2. Being able to view/control the pressure as you release the air.
Negatives
1. After a couple of uses, the indicator needle refused to stick and fell back to zero as soon as you released the gauge from the valve. (Answer - read the pressure and adjust without taking the gauge off the tyre rather than letting it ruin your life as per some comments on Amazon )
Overall a good piece of kit for the money and I'd recommend it. 13 D4 HSE Santorini Black

Hmmm, it looses accuracy/fidelity due to the overly large pressure range and the nozzle has to be held against the valve rather than latching on. Otherwise it is the form factor I prefer (analog dial with hose) but these 2 negatives mean there are better options out there for me.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

What are you worried about? after photographing it, it would only stay in a tool drawer anyway as your purified nitrogen filled tyres wouldn't have any use for it
So if it loses fidelity I guess you have the concern about infidelity, oh yes I see what you mean now, but you do realise its push on not screw

It may lose accuracy but all things will and should be calibrated on a regular basis. I would think repeatability would be maintained much further through it's life.
