Default digital tire gage

I just bought a digital tire gage made by Campbell Hausfeld. Find it not to be very sensitive. Have to try several times to even get a reading. Can any one recomend a decent one ? Thanks.

I never really trust most of the digital equip.
I just go with a standard 'push and read' gauge. Works everytime.

A test by a major consumer magazine showed that the stick ones are generally more accurate than dial or digital ones. Not to say there aren't some lousy stick ones out there too.

I have a Campbell Hausfeld digital one that works great

It's silver and black, and on the other end it has a tire tread gauge
