I was looking on eBay, and seen these monitors, which screws onto the valve
stem.

How long have these things been out? And, do you know if they're worth the
few bucks?

Thanks!

Give a link. If they are the ones I tried they are junk. I was over 10 PSI
low and not one showed a visual indication of being low.

One more place for it to leak.

All of them I have seen are only good for spotting very low tyres. By
the time you get there, you should be feeling it. They won't hurt, but
don't rely on them to tell you when you need to check and fill your tyres.

If Jamie is anything like me, he'll never feel it.

But I agree, he has to post a url. His description so far is no good.
I have two different designs already that screw onto the valve stem.
One included a little battery in each one and it squealed when the air
pressure dropped. I don't know why I stopped using them.
