Tire Inflators Digital vs. Dial

[smogtech]

Im in need of a second tire inflator. Now being at toyota all these trucks with the spares mounted underneath the car I need a dual chuck inflator. Seen a couple of guys with fancy digital ones. I asked them why they bought it and they just seemed to want to burn money no real reason as too why.

So Im asking you guys any advantage to it? In the world of every vehicle having tpms.

I just use pencil gauge and tire chuck I have tried those combos before and were inaccurate. But just so you know all gauges will read approximate as the computer in newer cars will be off somewhat u can spend 20 min getting the readout in the dash to all be the same as some customers are very **** and reading will be off all the time

I just bought one of the digital, just because it is easy to read at a glance. I paid $108 for a bluepoint, still less than a snap on analog, and just a few bucks more than cornwells analog.

I have the Bluepoint digital. I am happy with the accuracy, I was sick of fighting with my old one.

Old fashioned Milton inflator I don't like the digital ones

With TPMS, accuracy is key. I have a digital one made in England sold by Branick and others. I like it, it's easy to read and use. I would go back to any other type.

Milton stick and locking tire inflater. I like duel STRAIT gauges and inflaters I don't like the duel angled ones. They are shockingly hard to find. I am always looking for a good backup

i see all the rave about pencil gauges. I have a drawer full of pencil gauges and they all read different. I have a dial gauge with a 1 foot long hose on it that reads up to 120psi, it is the most accurate gauge I have ever had.

My tire supplier has a master gauge and will test them against it free of cost.

I have the bluepoint digital and its been very good, durable and accurate
