Why do you say "digital"?

Analog (dial or stick) gauges for low pressure are quite accurate, and readily available.

i asked because i have poor vision i need one that holds the readingat least a few moments

OK, you're talking about a digital display and that holds the maximum reading.

As far as I can tell (corrections welcomed) -

1. All available digital-display tire gauges have display increments of 0.5 psi. That's not helpful in the 4psi range if you're trying to be accurate with having the same pressure in two tires.

2. And I haven't found any with digital display with specifications that say they hold the maximum reading. Perhaps they do, and just don't say that in the description. In any case, most say that they automatically turn off after a few seconds (perhaps 15 or 30) to save power.

However, almost all "analog dial" and all "analog stick" gauges have the capability to hold the maximum reading "forever". So, even with small markings, there should be time to get out a magnifying glass to inspect the reading. And there are many of these analog gauges that are made for low pressure range, so they are quite useful at 4psi.

For instance: http://slime.com/535/products/1-20-p...e-gauge-20185/

I know that's not helpful to your request for a digital-display low-pressure gauge with holding capability.

I've never seen a digital tire gage that has an analog display.

Do either of those hold the reading after the gauge is removed from the valve?

I've owned several different digital pressure gages over the years. All of mine have always held the reading for a few seconds.

Thanks. And yes, as far as I know, all digital gauges have digital displays.

The point was (to answer the question from rotorblades) that the requirement is for a gauge that holds its reading long enough for someone with poor vision to read it.

Almost every analog tire gauge has the capability to hold the reading "forever". But a digital display may be easier to read. It depends heavily on the individual.

Perhaps rotorblades will get one and let us know how well it works.

are there any marks you can see to line up after you take the round seg emblem off oftthe lean steer? i know to hold it vertical. im barely still vertical myself.

it seems to me that the LS mount and sensor are actually an elastomeric bearing of sorts
rubber and aluminum sandwiched loosely for rotation and spring-back with strength - from a helicopter blade bearing -ala- rotorway head 162F from deans helicopter days?
