Favorite DIGITAL Tire Pressure Gauge?

My old one died. Had pressure checked in one tire shop then got suspicious when I felt every damned road gravel chip in steering wheel. Next tire shop claimed Cuarenta y ocho libras 48 lbs. Bled pressure. Too much bottom bulge. Third shop 26 lbs! All three used truck type pencil gauges. Man I don't have time for this. I have an expensive 150 PSI gauge for Quicksilver but this is for a toad. 35 PSI.

I believe I posted a question about this several months ago and received confusing opinions. Shopping for a digital gauge is of little help. Vendors do not state how long the display stays until auto shutoff. I need about 10-seconds because I have Oldfartitus. I am ready to order a digital gauge on Amazon or eBray but I am not ready to play Lets Make A Deal shopping by horse shoe or four leaf clover.

Thanks

    I have several of the Slime gauges and they seem to work well. They are lit and hold the display for a long time.

    I had two from HF but dropped one and broke it. I really like them because the angle is excellent for accessing the valve stems, they seal well, are accurate(seem to be anyway), and have user replaceable batteries. Down side is they aren't lit, but the display seems to stay on over 10 seconds. And I haven't been able to find them at our local HF store anymore, which is a real bummer. And they were cheap. :)
