I’m getting old, and seeing the dial gauges when I leave my readers inside is getting harder everyday! I’ve had this old Reb-Co gauge for over 20 years, and it works like a champ! Moved onto a digital backlit gauge this week, and I’m happy with it so far. I can see it without my readers too! Hopefully it’s lasts 20+ years too! They were 25% off on the big A store.
New tire gauge time!

I have that JACO gauge and really like it.
I picked this Astro model a few weeks back, really like it so far.
Hello OP,
What batteries does your new gauge take and where do you open it?

I have the same JACO gauge and love it. 2 - AAA batteries in the back
They are having a sale currently - https://jacosuperiorproducts.com/co...-pressure-gauge-professional-accuracy-100-psi

That is the same price as Amazon, at least right now.
I just ordered a Jaco pressure gauge and pouch.
I own a GOOLOO air tire pump that I love. Also own a GOOLOO GT4000 that powers up 4000amps which powers up my 12 volt impact wrench, jumps batteries below zero,ect...

This thread is timely for me. I just threw away a digital tire pressure gauge. It was never my favorite tire pressure gauge, so when the batteries went dead, and I opened it up and realized that replacing the batteries would cost more than it was worth to me, I decided to get a new gauge.
So I also just ordered the Jaco 100 psi. Thanks for the recommendation.

How are people testing these gauges they like to be an accurate tire gauge?
This thread just made me dig into one of my Jaco gauges that doesn’t return to zero. Sure enough, lifetime warranty on the analog gauge. They have great customer service and are sending a replacement. I bought it in 2016 and have 2. They read exactly the same when they both worked, and match tpms, good enough for me.
I have the same Jaco digital gauge too. In use for four or five years and works well as long as the batteries are good. Find they do need to be replaced frequently, and the cheaper batteries don't last long, but I do like it. Well worth investing in a quality gauge up front rather than wasting time on some of the cheapo ones.
Ya those ones with big numbers are great for us old guys.
I have the Jaco Elite 100psi version with no hose. Fits better in the glove box.
Project Farm did a pretty recent test and the ETENWOLF T300 did very well also. It's less than $8 at the rainforest currently and yes replaceable batteries also. I might grab a couple more just to refresh the older Slime Digital ones I have in the other cars. THose have worked very well for me for many years. Only reading to .5psi was never an issue with many multiple hundred thousand miles on 6+ vehicles.

Project Farm?
I'm good with it matches most of my TPMS (1 sensor always shows 1psi lower on dash?). Same in 3 cars that show pressure on dash. The rest I go with it is very close to other gauges I have. The gauges I had that didn't really match got tossed.
I've picked up 2 of these recently under $4 each on Amazon. Like 'em so far.
I don’t know. They are probably fine, but my old eyes have a hard time reading the stick and I never trusted them as the ones I came across almost always were cheap giveaways.
