Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I strongly suspect this seller is artificially boosting the rating of this product. My suspicions first arose when I received this tire gauge, unwrapped it, and inspected it...only to discover that there is NOTHING even remotely "high quality" about this tool. This item is the epitome of "Made in China" junk. It's a bunch of cheap injection molded plastic pieces with sloppy seams and tolerances, fastened to even sloppier "stainless steal" parts. This is exactly the kind of quality you'd expect to see at Harbor Freight Tools for about 1/4 of the price. But there are dozens of reviews that claim this tire gauge is a quality product? Something doesn't add up. I then went through every single review and clicked "See all my reviews" and counted the number of reviewers that have never reviewed anything else. That number is 36. In other words, 36 out of 55 reviewers (65%) have reviewed this item and nothing else. To put that in perspective: I did a similar test for 6 other items I've purchased on Amazon, and I couldn't find a single instance of a reviewer who only reviewed that exact item! Also, the reviews on this tire gauge are all suspiciously short and generic. I'm convinced this seller is either reviewing its own products or it's participating in some kind of incentive program (i.e., paying people to create positive reviews). But...maybe you don't care about the seller's alleged unethical business practices; maybe you just want to know about the product itself. If so, I'm afraid I still don't have any good news for you. Like I said before, this product is junk. In fact, I'll go as far as to say this product is DANGEROUS. Why? Well, because it provides a false sense of security. The extra tools provided by this tire gauge are very low quality and there's a strong possibility that they will fail in an emergency situation. For example, the glass breaker has a spring mechanism that has no functional purpose other than to keep the point tucked away when not in use. Some emergency tools have a spring mechanism that fires the tip straight out, allowing you to break a window in a submerged (underwater) vehicle. Let's say, hypothetically, you buy this tire gauge and store it in your glovebox. One day you accidentally drive your car into a lake. It happens. Water fills your cabin and you can't get the door open, so you reach for your trusty "high-quality" tire gauge from Mountain Crest Products. You push the glass breaker up to the window and pull the trigger. Unfortunately, you've mistook this spring mechanism for the kind that actually does something useful. The kind you have is actually just a worthless gimmick. You realize your mistake at the exact moment you drown. In a less-far-fetched scenario, imagine you simply need to break a window. No water involved. Well, first you'll need to pull the trigger on the spring mechanism--you know...to activate "glass breaking mode". Then you grasp this thing with a freakin' tire pressure gauge driving itself straight into your palm. Alternatively, you can grip above that, but at that point you're not swinging a hammer anymore; you're basically using a pointy fist pack. I'm pretty sure I can duplicate that functionality with a key ring and a roll of quarters. At least my version is all metal. The tire gauge version has the point held in place with plastic. Here's another scenario: your car is on fire and you need to cut through a seat belt. If you have both hands free, you've memorized the position of the "seat-belt cutter" tool, and your fingernails are exceptionally long and made of titanium...then don't worry, you'll be fine. If not, you'll burn to death. Both screwdrivers and the "pliers" are smooth and rounded, due to their construction methods, and this makes them terrible at performing their intended functions. If you love stripping screws and nuts, you're in for a treat. Using the pliers, I was able to remove a staple from cardboard...barely. If you have a single sheet of paper that needs cutting, the included scissors are perfect. I also tested the flashlight. It paled in comparison to my phone's flash, so it's doubtful I'd ever use it. Last but not least, there's the pressure gauge itself. Is it accurate? I don't know; I never tested it. Frankly, I don't care. I was duped into buying a swiss army knife of cheap, useless gimmicks, and that's more than enough reason to return this thing.
