TPMS systems work for me because i wasn't checking the tire pressures as much as i thought i should have (i wanted to check them before we departed for any trip and before we pulled out of a campground)....got busy, got lazy....didn't want to deal with dragging stuff out or the weather was bad (rain/cold) or the weather was good (too hot & sunny)

These solve the problem of broken extenders.
