What tire pressure gauge do you use?

I'm not really sure how a 'digital' gauge is any better than a slider. I mean, how do you know? What's the gold standard in gauges? Does a digital readout mean that the internal workings of the actual pressure sensing device are any better?

This one from Camping World does the trick for me:



Here's my Pressure Check Process photos.

I use the Accu-Gage by GH Meisner & Co. Accurate and easy to use. I like the short hose with the clip on so I can easily adjust pressure. Also hard to find a gauge that goes to 100 psi when I need 80 in the truck.

I use the Accutire brand which seems to be consistent between the 3 I bought for our vehicles. I'll never go back to a mechanical dial or slide gauge unless I want a "ballpark" reading.

I had a digital tire gauge that went out of calibration on me. It cost me a set of tires. I'm staying with the tried and true slider stick!

I use a slider type, also have a mechanical gauge type and a digital gauge on my inflator. All three of them read different values for the same tire, go figure. The slider seems to be the closest match to the OEM pressure sensor on my truck.

I use a stick/slider type. Even if it's a pound or two off, that's not the end of the world nor a real safety concern if the target pressures are set responsibly.

I did just "upgrade" my car's stick gauge to a cheap dial type because the stick one I used previously self-destructed, blowing apart into pieces as I was checking the pressure. I don't have any reason to believe the cheap dial is necessarily any more accurate; it just happened to be on a good clearance sale when I needed a replacement.

I use slider type for big tires. Seems to work just fine.

What's wrong with the slider type?
