Strengths:
It lets you know your operating pressure.
Weaknesses:
None that I could tell
Review:
I bought this gauge for 98 Custom to put on my Palmer Stabilizer so I could get an active reading of my pressure when I play.It does that well the only reason I got this instead of the 32* is because of the Bob Long logo on it ,It hasn't let me down but I imagine since it is a gauge there probably isn't a whole lot that could go wrong with it.
Conclusion:
For 10 bux I am not one to complain(by the way the site I bought this from had the 32* for the same price)It does what I need it to do and thats it.

Review:
Well its a gauge... well after reading reviews that other peoples leaks i first tripled wrapped my guage with teflon tape just incase and it worked no leaks what so ever. i bought this guage to lower my pressure in this case, its effective at reading and the face look cool as well.
Conclusion:
Get this guage!!! everything comes down to brand and presonal preference like looks on the gauge in my opinion.
I bought two of these guages one for my tank (because my stock guage was too large to work with my cp micro razor drop) and one for my on/off a 1200psi and a 5000psi
The 1200 psi guage is accurate and working great and looks cool
The 5000psi guage is not accurate it shows 1100psi when my tank is totally empty but it still looks cool
Conclusion:
I would not reccommend buying this brand guage, you have a 50/50 chance of it working, i gave it a 5 because i gave one guage a 0 and the other guage a 10 !

Review:
I finally get my upgrades and install them. I head out to my ranch to chrono using my shinny new hand held chronograph. After about 20 shots I had my fps back up to 280 and started to pack it up. When I did, I noticed the face had detached from the gauge and rotated far to the right making the gauge useless. I was like WTF! It didn't even make it to a single game of paintball. At first I thought the face was really cool, now I just want to know what the psi is on the left eye.
Conclusion:
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Maybe Bob Long should spend less on graphics and more on glue

Weaknesses:
None really
Review:
I bought this gauge at my local shop and it has worked pretty good since i got it. The readings are pretty accurate. The gauge also looks pretty nice on the gun too. I havent really had any problems with this gauge since i got it, and i hope it stays that way.
Conclusion:
I would reccomend this gauge to anyone. I was a little weary about buying it from the reviews on here, but its all my shop had. I however have not had any problems like mention in other reviews.
Alias Timmy, Orange Bolt, MacDev Legionair, Dye Ultralite (What's the point).
Strengths:
Looks, so what
Weaknesses:
Calibration, Accuracy!
Review:
Look if you're into bling-bling on your marker! Fine it looks great and it plugs a hole in your regulator. If you are into paintball and performance this is a piece of junk. I cannot believe a piece of equipment like this came out of the Bob Long stable.
The calibration is so of the scale! Try setting 65 psi on a scale of 600 psi!
The only thing that I do like about it, is that it is small. The stock guage looks like Big Ben on the London tower! :(
This guage is a waste of time and money!
Conclusion:
Get a MacDev!

Review:
I had my tank for a couple of months and it started leaking so i took it to the local shop and he took the stock gauge off and put the bob long on. he filled my tank and i left to go home i thought it was pretty sweet until it tried to take my eye out! the freaking Len's popped of and barley missed my eye and y tank was leaking like crazy. so i took it back and he put a new on that worked.
Conclusion:
If u like a crap gauge that doesn't work go for it...if not don't wast your money.
This gauge lasted me all of about 10 hours before the lens and faceplate blew out. Had it installed at about 3PM, and it failed at 1AM. The tank was pressurized to only 1,000psi in oder to allow the LocTite to cure. I WAS going to bring it back the next day to have the tank filled to 4,500psi.
I'm sure this is an exception, but can you imagine what would have happened if I had presurized it to 4,500psi? Hopefully, this unfortunate incident will be communicated to Bob Long, via the retailer, in a timely manner and more stringent standards will be effected at the manufacturer level.
Conclusion:
I'm getting the gauge replaced, but I'm now considering switching brands. Wonder if the gauge was ever tested at the factory.

Review:
I got this gauge to slap on my spyder. I purchased the 600psi gauge. Its very nice. I've had it for about 7 months now and I have had no problems with it at all. It just looks amazing. I have used many of these in the past and they have all been made well. Very good product from Bob Long.
Honestly, these gauges are the worst gauges made. We got a shipment of 20 into my shop. We had 14 of these gauges blow. The gauges ranged from 0-300 all the way to 0-5000 and everything inbetween. The gauges seem to be very cheaply made, and aren't all that accurate. Personally, I will never use these gauges again.
Conclusion:
Go get ashcroft gauges, they are more accurate and actually work.
