    NEW & IMPROVED - s-581e EZ-LOCK™ Air Chuck Precision Digital Tire Infl
    Tire Inflator Gauges
    This one is $150 but Milton also makes others starting at about $20. I had a long debate with myself and went with one from Snap-on. The dealer told me Milton makes it for them. Milton has a 1 year warranty and they state that some products are marked on the package as a 3 year warranty.

    I can't remember which one it is but there are some shootouts on Youtube on these and there is one Amazon brand that blew the rest away in accuracy.

    Personally my favorite is Accugage but they aren't digital, or at least the two I've bought haven't been.
     
    mitmaks Thanks this.

    Ive been using this brand for probably 6 years now.. they are the most accurate ive ever used. And fairly inexpensive. analog gauges always lose their calibration... Ive had to buy a couple different units because everytime id put my truck in the shop they would go missing. I think the mechanics stole them..but ive had this one for about 3 years now and still works perfect.https://www.amazon.com/AstroAI-ATG1...926&sprefix=astro+ai+tire+gaug,aps,228&sr=8-4 PXL_20250925_041526221.MP.jpg

    I buy those 3-4 at a time. Have to hide them but drivers find them anyway. LOL
    Check them now and then against a calibrated gauge, never found them off.

    I’ve had 3 like @D.Tibbitt has. They’ve all broke/came apart in the middle. As if I’m pulling on them too hard when checking the outer wheels….

    They're cheap plastic body but work fine. Even the cheap ones grow legs and walk out of the shop.

    Just curious what's the attraction to a digital gauge vs a regular standard one that has worked forever?

    Analog gauges lose their calibration very quickly in my experience. Never had that problem with digital
     
    Mr Uturn and Friend Thank this.
