Default Digital tire pressure gauge

I wanted to get a tire pressure gauge, one of those digital ones. Are they all the same, or are some crap and not accurate?

I saw this one online, free shipping, and very cheap. What do you guys think?

Default I have an Accutire from Target

This is the one, around $15. Not sure if Target still sells them or not. They are supposed to be very accurate, and compared to my non-digital Accugauge it is spot on. The only downside is that it only reads in .5 lb. increments, whereas with the analog gauge it is easy to determine how much over/under your target pressure you are. But I like it and it is all I use now. Definitely don't have to be as careful with it as the analog gauge, and it does not rattle in my glove box like the analog one does.

Default didn't get a digital gauge because ...

You can't easily bleed the tire pressure down. I got a analog gauge unit with a hose. Can easily read pressures and bleed air out of the tire.

Default Works the same way for any gauge that does not have a release valve

Agreed besides most air compressors allow to bleed with the hose attachment.
