Should I get stick, dial or digital? Good brands? Last edited by GomangoCuda; 06/04/16 09:32 PM. In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

You might catch it on sale for $25 https://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/DT100/DIGITAL-TIRE-PRESSURE-GAUGE/ I use this model daily at work (although it is the previous version) and has been reliable for 5 years now. It is way too expensive for most i'm sure. https://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/DT4A/3-5-DIGITAL-TIRE-INFLATOR/ Both models are overkill for sure. I have a Milton pencil style from the hardware store that does the job just fine as well

I have 6 or 8 different pencil style gauges, one digital, and one inflator style that pops out the end like we used to use at the service stations. They all read different. Probably 5 or 6 pounds spread between them. I probably should buy one of the expensive ones expecting it to be accurate, but use and wear out the cheap ones for daily use and then know what the correction factor is for them. Master, again and still

That's exactly my problem. I don't trust any of mine. The one I did trust got dropped and is now way off. The rest are all over the place. Guess I will look for a Milton. Thanks In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
