Abstract
The present calibratable tire gauge has a first unit nose piece and a second unit nose piece located partially within a main outer enclosure of the gauge. A clicker mechanism located may allow a user to utilize a special tool to ‘unlock’ the second unit nose piece with respect to the first unit nose piece and immobilize the second unit nose piece with respect to the main outer enclosure. Once ‘unlocked’, a user may twist the scale bar of the gauge to move the first unit nose piece independent from the second unit nose piece. As a result, the measured pressure on the scale bar is altered as a result of the ‘read’ line being lowered or raised with respect to the main outer enclosure.
