Amazon Tire Inflator: Testing 1-Star Reviews!

What happens here

To verify the accuracy of the new inflator's pressure readings, first use a separate, reliable tire pressure gauge. The presenter uses a Slime Sport Gauge, noting that the tire was previously set to 50 PSI. He connects the Slime gauge to the tire's valve stem to get an independent reading. Then, he connects the new cordless inflator to the same tire and observes its digital display to see what pressure it reports.

Goal: Compare the new inflator's pressure reading against a known accurate gauge.
