Ime all these are duds because the tip is plastic & breaks off. The only one with a metal tip is a Craftsman branded one. I have the Craftsman & its awesome. Sells from $12 on sale - $25. Got it ages ago for $12 & its the best gauge I’ve ever owned. But some people are easy on their gauges I am not.
I have to admit, I’ve never understood the appeal of digital tire pressure gauges. I have had the same couple of mechanical gauges for decades. They’re all metal, accurate, stand up very well to abuse, and are always ready to use.
Obviously you have a lot of experience with digital gauges. What would you say are the advantages over a mechanical unit?
I’ll speak to the specific Craftsman gauge only. No rubber hose to rot as a lot of mechanical units have, audible beep when reading complete (my favorite feature), has lit display & mini flashlight for use in emergencies, easy to bleed off, easier to read & easy to seat. There’s more I can’t remember now. Oh I do carry a backup mechanical that gets NO use.

Craftsman Programmable Digital Tire Gauge
Like I said I paid $12 ages ago. $18-$26 is quite a bite but knowing now if I had to I’d pay it.
I bought at least 4 other brands of EXCELLENTLY rated digital tire gauges (this one included) & they were all ****, inaccurate & busted. The Craftsman is stellar!
