Sure, it could be - but I'm analog with the Michelin / Schrader VIGIL. Beautiful piece of work, under $30. Very repeatable, accurate within 0.25 lbp.

Hasn't changed in 50 years - because it works!

I looked into some really nice tire gauges and found digital gauges up to $400...yep that much! Griots used to have a $79 one that won a gauge shoot out in European Car magazine but they no longer make it and I can't find it on the Griots Garage website. I found some $20 digital gauges but I wonder how accurate those really are.

I have that griot gauge. Nice chuck but it constantly goes dead. Returned one last year, second one is the same.

Thanks I have their handbook...still can't find there tire gauge from the 2001 Euro Car review.

I did find these gauges that seem better than the $15 Autozone Accu-Tire Gauges:
