Does the above model have better precision ($66!), or facilitate the checking operation?
Just saw this vid , it has a nice feature to deflate an over inflated tire, nice! But still confused about the hold valve feature? Def buying it, thanks for the tip.  or maybe I'll go crazy and get the digital one  |
Yes, because of the angle of the chuck, the way it swivels and the long rubber hose, it is easier and more convenient to reach the tire valve to take a reading. You can also be quite quick during the attachment and thus lose minimal to no air.
These gauges are definitely more accurate than the pencil-type.
Finally, the hold valve allows you to remove the gauge from the tire valve, yet the reading does not go away / reset to zero. The reading is held on the gauge face.
