I'd get some gauges. *For some reason saying "if I crank it hard

regulator. *Get some gauges.

I've tested the regulator on my compressor with bike tires. The tires
on the bikes in the garage range from 40 PSI to 120 PSI. I set the
reg to the desired pressure, pump up a bike tire, then measure the
bike tire with a tire gauge. At least lets me kow if the regulator
matches the tire gauge. Although I don't know for a fact if either
one is actually accurate or not.
