This is cheap ,good & handy - alum casing , US brand and make

 

Bro,

 

I have bought this pen type as per your pic. Is it reliable in terms of reading? Wondering with this, do I still need to get a digital one.....

When you choose tyre pressure gauge , please consider the followings

 

a) Yr ride - family car, Street racing car, comercial vehicles, off road vehicles, two wheeler,ATV, Go-Kart etc etc.

 

then decide on the type of display, chuck design and frequency of usage.

 

Easy to take reading and repeatablity is of paramount impt.

 

If you are comfortable with a simple pen type pressure gauge then there is no reason to go for a digital one.

 

Hope this helps

 

PS Have PM to all who request for info.

As I have mentioned in my earlier post, it all depends on your applications and requirements. For me, all the while over the last 3 decades I use only pocket tyre pressure scale ( metal professional type ) - handy and fast - if you have bad eyesight then don't opt for this type. For normal usage I always recomend pressure gauge with digital scale - very good repeatable readings, very easy to read even with bad lighting. Some customers even suggest that I import and sell taking tyre pressure scales.

Frankly , I don't see the need to do temp check on the tyres unless you are pumping up tyres at the race track. For pit stop guys they will check the track surface and the tyre temp and then compute to decide on the best air pressure to set
