I have updated my old fashioned handheld meter which was becoming increasingly difficult to read correctly. I tried this digital pressure gauge upon receipt and was really impressed. I went with the cheaper ones which cost around $6-7 and I'm happy with my decision. The nozzle is not offset (like on cheaper units). It goes straight to the tire valve for easy reading. The device feels solid and I believe it can last a long time. I like to use AAA batteries, which I can buy cheaply. When I tried this, the pressure readings were the same across multiple tests. The readings are large and well lit. I am very happy.
