Connecting air to the tool and setting the pressure so that the first gauge reads 100psi BEFORE connecting to the cylinder. When I do connect to the cylinder, the pressure drops a bit. Do I re-adjust back up to 100psi before taking my % reading?
Thanks, Rob |

Rob if you have the two gage style you do want to readjust the first gage to read 100 after connecting to the cylinder. You don't have to, but it makes the math easier, (no need for the calculator.) If you have the single gage style you do not reset the gage to read 100 after connecting to the cylinder.
BTW the harbor freight gage is a POS! |

BTW the harbor freight gage is a POS! that bad huh? how so? i guess i'd be defeating the purpose if i bought it... I bought 1, did not work. Exchanged for a second one that did not work. Then I bought one from Ebay that works like a champ (but it is not the HF junk.) I love HF for some things, but this was not something of theirs that worked. Zach |
