I have a digital tire gauge that had the same battery for 8 years and no issues. What's wrong with digital?
It's complicated if you make it. It's a simple tool that has a small battery and a digital readout. No big deal.
i agree with this poster. A simple needle gauge will last forever and never need a battery.

why you would want a battery powered, seldom used, gauge like this is beyond me... just get an analog gauge/inflator and you'll be good forever.

unnecessary complication of simple tools... there's no need and adds layers of potential failure points. especially these days with crap electronic components, poor engineering designs/practices, lead-free solder, and so on.

i'm glad you're 8yr old unit is still working... but that has no bearing on this unit in 2021.

It doesn't appear to be calibrated. You can get a calibrated inflator on Amazon at this price.

Dial gauges, though simple, reliable, and accurate, may be harder to read for some people, especially in low light situations. If your eyes are bad, go digital. If you can see ok, go with a dial.

That being said, I did buy the $3 digital gauge from Advance the other day - simply because it was cheap. I don't expect much out of it and will probably donate it to Goodwill when the battery dies.

Ahhh, the good old China-calibrated products on Amazon. You can barely trust any of the product descriptions on that site...

A real question, what do they say they calibrated to? What actual standard? Or is it just "calibrated" to a certain accuracy... because that's obviously across the board. Amazon China-crap like to throw out the "calibrated to 0.1psi!!!", then descriptions call out 1%+0.1psi accuracy. Which is still BS... best you'll ever get is +/-1psi (double what they say), then add variability of physical connection into the equation and you're way above that.

Agreed. I have a digital gauge very similar to what is shown in this post. Works great, my wife can use it, and I have never had an issue with the battery. The backlight has been a huge help the couple of times I've chosen to reinflate at night in my driveway.

If I was running a tire shop I might get something a bit more rugged, but for my homeowner needs my digital inflator/gauge has been great.

Power to you if you like the old fashioned units that work fine. I used those too and have a spare in the car that is the old pen model. I like these battery type of units for low light use and the large digital readout. Are there drawbacks to battery operated things--sure! It is now my preference as you have for the old style. I use rechargeable batteries that so far do not leak. Yes I realize it will have a shorter life than my old style pen unit but I just enjoy it more. I can remember about 20 years ago when these first came out one of the guys in our mechanics shop bought one off the tool truck (I think MacTools) for $150. It was aluminum and pretty. They needed that like they needed a hole in the head but it wasn't their money. I do appreciate your cautions to the newbees because for myself I will never buy a car that doesn't have a transmission dipstick, DGI, or VVT etc. Too much complication for a tiny increase in fuel efficiency. So I do get your aversion (and mine) to over complicating simple things that just work well as they are. As always to each their own.

And guess what, this isn't the Indianapolis 500. 2,3,4 psi really doesn't matter. Measuring actual wear at center and edges, and making minor adjustments of the setpoint, can matter over the life of the tire.

I have been through a handful of cheap analog guages. In all cases, over time, the scale within the analog gauge has warped, impeding the needle and rendering the tool useless. I'd be happy if a $20 digital would give me 5 years, because I haven't been getting that out of the analogs. I'd also be happy if someone were to point out a good professional analog model that would last forever, as you should imagine they would. I'm guessing I need to look at the type with the brass sliding scale that extends out, as most gas stations used to use when air was free.
