Milton S-986C Re-Calibratable Tire Pressure Service Gauge
Milton S-986C is a service gauge with a tubular body, indicator bar and extended-reach chuck. Field recalibration is a maintenance feature; it does not mean pressure accuracy can be established merely by feel.
Specifications and included details
- Listed pressure range: 10–160PSI in 2PSI increments.
- Chrome-plated brass body and black anodized aluminum indicator bar.
- Extended-reach chuck and offset head described.
- Calibration adjustment described in 0.25PSI clicks using a calibration tool.
Before ordering
Confirm the actual chuck configuration and whether the calibration tool is supplied. Follow the maker's calibration method against a known reference. A0.25PSI adjustment step is not a measured accuracy tolerance, and two-PSI graduation is not proof of quarter-PSI readable resolution.
Product questions and answers
Is the calibration tool included?
The description mentions a tool but does not itemize it as included. Confirm the package if recalibration is part of your purchase decision.
Does each click prove0.25PSI accuracy?
No. It is the described adjustment increment, not a complete accuracy specification.
Can I recalibrate by feel alone?
Use the manufacturer's procedure and a known pressure reference. Feel alone does not verify pressure accuracy.
