Sturdy and heavy in the hand. The display is backlit and easy to read. I have to check the pressure in the big 10-ply tires every day at work, so this has a lot of uses, so far it's holding up well. Seems accurate compared to the handheld meter I use. Batteries are weirdly a combination of a regular battery and these little cells that I don't think I've seen before. However, I like it very much. No more squinting at the meter or bending down so hard to get to the tires (other than removing and replacing the cap). It's tempting to apply it to my colleagues.
