My stick tire pressure gauge does tend to stick after a while, but it is small and easy to use. The dial gauge is accurate each time and fairly easy to use. I think that there are advantages to having both types of gauges. The three types of tire pressure gauges are digital, stick, and dial. Each can accurately determine tire pressure. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Each is portable, fairly easy to use, and fairly small. The best type of gauge comes down to quality. The gauges that are built with quality materials and are designed well can last much longer than cheaper built ones. So which one should you get? We’ll talk about each type of gauge and the pro and cons of each so you can choose the best one for you. Types of Tire Pressure Gauges Before you decide on which one to buy, it is important to have an understanding of the different types of tire gauges that are available in the market. You need to evaluate their pros and cons to determine which one is best suited for your needs. In this section, we are going to discuss the top five recommendations for the best tire pressure gauge available right now. We will provide you with each product\u2019s features, pros, and cons so you can make a better evaluation before buying. 1. Digital Tire Pressure Gauges AD The above tire pressure gauge is an all-in-one device that measures tire pressure and shows it on a digital display. Most digital tire pressure gauges can read up to 100 psi and this one goes to 150 psi. Helpful for high-pressure bike tires. Digital tire pressure gauges almost all have a handheld to use so you can easily hold and measure your tire pressure. This can be helpful for those who want to quickly check their tire pressure without having to hold two parts such as with dial tire pressure gauges. They are usually fairly durable, although they are digital so batteries are required, and dropping them from too high could break something. The nice thing about these types of gauges is how easier they are to read and some also double as a multitool. Many have lights and some have other tools. For example, the tire pressure gauge above has a built-in LED flashlight that helps maintain visibility even when it\u2019s dark. a belt cutter, and a window breaker in case you’re stuck during an accident. In addition, some digital tire pressure gauges are compatible with different types of measurements, such as PSI, KPA, BAR, and KG\/CM2. Pros Cons 2. Stick Tire Pressure Gauges AD Stick tire pressure gauges are one of the easiest to use. They are almost the size of a pen (between 5-6 inches) and easy to hold in your hand. The only drawback to its size is you might lose it if you don’t place it back in its place after you are done. These stick gauges can read many types of air pressure just like a digital tire gauge, you only need to turn the gauge to see the various pressure measurements. People buy these because they are easy to operate and store. It’s a fast convenient way to measure your tire pressure. In addition, these are cheap. Even if it stops working after a while, you might still choose this type of gauge because it’s so small and easy. Most of these gauges have pocket clips for easy access and storage. Most also come with a deflation point on the back of the head of the gauge in case you overinflated your tire. These are usually made of stainless steel so you can drop them and drop without problems. Unfortunately, these types of tire pressure gauges can stop reading tire pressure accurately over time. Like a bike pump, you can get various types of quality gauges. Some will last a long time, but others lose pressure because of seals or low-quality parts. A stick gauge in my opinion the most likely of the three types of gauges to fail at reading tire pressure over time. This is because they are so cheap to make, many are not made of great quality materials. Pros Cons 3. Dial Tire Pressure Gauges AD Another type of pressure gauge is the dial type. This type of gauge uses a needle that points to the air pressure measurement. Depending on the product you get these can be a solid product that will last a long time with good accuracy. These work well over time if they are built well and have a one-piece construction. Some come with a long rubber hose. This can be handy when you need to get into tight spots, but hoses tend to fail faster in my experience than solid metal construction. When it comes to tire pressure gauges the one seen above is a budget option but seems to perform just as well as other much higher priced options. So, some research would be helpful before you purchase a dial tire gauge. Like the stick gauge, this one requires no battery and is easy to operate. But like the stick it usually has a spring inside that may lose accuracy over time or if it is dropped too much. Again, quality construction matters. This type of gauge is good for those who want an easy-to-read display that is fairly accurate. Pros Cons Understanding Tire Pressure Gauges AD A tire pressure gauge is a device that checks the air pressure of your vehicle\u2019s tires. It will not fix or repair any problems on the tires, but it can prevent problems from occurring. They can help you with: A gauge may not be present in everyone\u2019s glove compartments, but it is a helpful tool for vehicle owners. It can keep you safe by ensuring your tires are in their best condition at all times. It will also save you a lot of time and money for maintenance and reparation. Low tire pressure can significantly lessen your car\u2019s overall fuel economy and can impact your vehicle\u2019s braking and handling. Tire pressure gauges have a lot of benefits. In addition, over and under-inflated tires are going to change the road handling properties of your car. This is the reason why it is also recommended that you regularly check your tire\u2019s air pressure. Essential Factors to Consider when Choosing the Best Tire Pressure Gauge Before we conclude, first let\u2019s talk about the essential factors to consider when choosing one. This is vital because not every model possesses the desired properties that make the best tire pressure gauge. When choosing the best tire pressure gauge, it\u2019s important to review the above to help you narrow down your search. It may also save you a lot of time and effort if you already know what you are looking for. Keeping Tires Inflated At Their Optimal Pressure Keeping your vehicle tires properly inflated is a quick maintenance task that is very important for your safety. If you have an air compressor you can do easily add air pressure to your car tires at home. To do this, you need a tire pressure gauge to check tire pressure and fill the tires to the correct level. I like to check the tire pressure before I go on a long trip. What will you use your tire pressure gauge for? Conclusion Choosing the best tire pressure gauge may come down to personal preference but it should also include research from reviews about durability and quality. Consumer Reports has done research on tire pressure gauges if you have a subscription you can find out more. I think the best tire pressure gauge is the digital type. They tend to give accurate readings over their lifetime, even though they need batteries and care so as not to drop them. Which is the type you would choose?
