If there was some kind of air pump attached to the device it would certaintly get my vote. As is, what good is balancing air pressure if one still has to inflate individually and then hook up the gismo errr......Psiclops?
Looks interesting but I agree, everyday use, no good. Besides, TPMS should do that now....
TPMS
TPMS - The Tire Pressure Monitoring System provides early warning of any drop in pressure by continuously monitoring the pressure in each tire and alerting you in the onboard computer display in the event of a pressure deficiency. It communicates the exact pressure of each tire and/or their deviation from ideal pressure. This does away with the need for regular air pressure checks at the service station, which often prove highly inconvenient.

I believe that you can hook a compressor or tank up to the thing. That is the point.
But as far as perfectly balanced pressure is concerned...think about track driving. Your tires heat up unevenly depending upon the direction of the turns.
You can start "perfect", but that won't last long.
Still, it looks cool and I might get one. If I do I will post a review.
Hi all. I found this thread while casually searching via google and would like to post a comment, if you don't mind.
My name is Dan Wrubel and I'm the head cheese over here at Equal Air. Because the Psiclops are a new line of tools, many don't understand for what they are used. The basic idea behind Psiclops is to very quickly balance pressure between two tires, then through the tool, increase/decrease the pressure in both tires simultaneously. To do this: 1-Attach one hose to each tire (usually both fronts or both rears), 2-Stand comfortably, 3-Depress the trigger-like bleeder to air both tires down, or 4-Apply your compressor hose to the schrader valve in the tool handle to air both tires up.
That being said, I'd like to address some of the short comments in the thread.
We don't sell any tools to circle track teams. Like DaveN007 said, perfect pressure won't last long and so where staggered pressures are desired, a Psiclops is not the tool for you. We do, however, have several top fuel nhra drag racing teams using our tools. If a multi-million dollar drag team thinks the tools are good, there must be something to it, eh?!
Regarding TPMS: TPMS only tells you when you have a problem, it doesn't (unless you have a Hummer I-III) fix the pressure for you. That's where Psiclops comes in. If you have a pressure balance problem, as indicated by your TPMS, simply hook the offending tire up to the tire on the opposite side of the car and presto!, no more problem. Now, if the offending tire is going flat, then you aren't solving anything and better get to a service station!
Let's be honest about it...you are attempting to balance your tire pressures now, you are just squatting, taking a lot of time, and doing a lousy job of it. The Psiclops is very small (6.9") from end to end and is very compact in it's custom case, storing just about anywhere you want it to. When you use a Psiclops, you aren't getting close, or even really close, to balancing your tire pressures, you are being EXACT!
The Psiclops, in one of it's many flavors (35-180psi, 0-15psi, 3-60psi) is being used by people all over the country from off-road enthusiasts, to semi and motor coach drivers to nhra drag racing professional to the serious sport-auto enthusiast. The warranty is for life, because that is how long you will use it...
My two cents...thank you for reading!

Dan, thanks for posting this. Now you have piqued my interest. However, I have a few questions. How accurate is the tire pressure gauge built in? If it is indeed very accurate, I can forgo spending on a quality tire pressure gauge and instead rely on the Psiclops. Or, is a quality tire gauge still recommended?

Our tools are VERY accurate. You will not need any other pressure gauge once you own a Psiclops. A standard automotive gauge, and most "high quality" gauges are still just 3-2-3 gauges. In the biz, that means that the first and last 25% of the scale is accurate to within 3% of full scale while the middle 50% of scale is accurate to 2%. If your gauge doesn't specifically state otherwise, then it is of this common variety of cheap gauges. Even digital gauges, instead of telling you how accurate they are, are sold to you as how small an increment they display. Beware of this as it is not a lie, but neither is it an indication of the gauge accuracy.
Our Pro15 has a 1% guage and the Extreme and XL180 have 2% gauges.
When considering how accurate a gauge to use, consider how/why you use it. To say "I am a stickler for proper tire pressure." is not a reason to keep a highly accurate gauge. To say "I want my left side pressures to be identical to my right side pressures" is. In short, a highly accurate (1/4% full scale) gauge is only necessary if you are the latter (want left side to be like right side) kind of person. Even then, you are only as accurate as the gauge tolerance will allow. With a Psiclops, you are not only exactly identical left side to right, but you are within ~1 psi of where you want to be.
To date, if you haven't been using a Psiclops, or don't have a 1/4% full scale-accuracy gauge (usually $300-$1000), your tire pressures have been out of balance by 2-3psi side-to-side.
Whew! I've been talking about this stuff for so many years I tend to carry on a bit. I hope this answers your Q.
