All guage fittings this ****y design ?

[jasonrmorrow]

I'm very unimpressed with these VIAIR gauges,

dual needle white face, well i had an air leak at the backside that i found with soapy water, fairly large leaks...so i tightened up the 1/8" inch union on the backside and the fitting/mounting stud starts to spin, now i'm screwed, try to back it off and of course it spins again, now i've got a huge leak pissing in my face.

Broke that ***** off...then went to loosen the other side so i could switch my lines around and of course it was on tight enough that the fitting/mounting stud spins as well, so i broke that sucker too.

$40 a guage, installed for 2 days, poor design in my opinion, before this problem i had ordered a single needle easystreet gauge through work, if i have to i can get firestones as well.

But if all the fittings are this way then i need some tips on getting them to seal,and once they are tight enough to seal how the hell do you back them off if you ever have to ??

And i doubt i'll be able to get warantee on it, i bought through a small shop, its not his fault, but it isnt really mine either, my beef is with VIAIR, but how am i going to get them to listen ??
