In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The Tru-Flate Polycarbonate Air Line Gauge is a compact, purpose-built tool designed to put reliable pressure readings right at the source. With a durable polycarbonate body and a standard 1/4 in. NPT connection, this gauge delivers quick, trustworthy checks for shop air lines up to 160 psi. At just 0.06 lb, it’s light enough to carry anywhere your pneumatic work takes you, yet sturdy enough to stand up to everyday shop use.

Key features

  • Material: Polycarbonate for a lightweight, impact-resistant body that won’t corrode or fatigue under repeated use.
  • Maximum pressure: 160 psi, giving you a safe, practical range for most standard pneumatic tasks.
  • Thread type and connection: 1/4 in. NPT with a male nozzle for quick, secure attachment to common air lines.
  • Air inlet size: 1/4 in. to match typical fixed and portable air systems.
  • Package contents: 1 gauge per unit for streamlined, single-item purchases.
  • Product type: Air Line Gauge—built specifically for on-demand pressure verification in pneumatic setups.

Who benefits from this gauge

  • Automotive technicians and hobbyists who need fast pressure checks on impact wrenches, air grinders, and spray tools.
  • HVAC installers testing compressor lines and service ports for leaks and performance.
  • DIY enthusiasts building or maintaining pneumatic systems in garages, workshops, or small fabrication spaces.

Why this gauge stands out

Unlike heavier metal gauges, the Tru-Flate polycarbonate design offers safer handling in busy environments where drops and knocks happen. Its lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during multiple checks, and the clear, straightforward reading helps you interpret line pressure at a glance. The 1/4 in. NPT connection aligns with most portable and fixed air lines, making it a versatile companion for both routine maintenance and diagnostic tasks.

Practical tips for optimal use

  • Before use, ensure the connection threads are clean and dry to prevent cross-threading and protect the port.
  • Attach the gauge to a pressurized line and read the pressure when the system is stable; sudden surges can mislead readings.
  • Always observe the 160 psi maximum to avoid over-pressurizing tools and lines.
  • Store in a protective sleeve or toolbox compartment to minimize impact and keep seals clean.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
