What's the difference between a tire pressure gauge and a bong?

It's nice to see that you've recovered from the brain bubbles and are back to yourself again, Al. It was a long, tough battle.

What type of tire pressure gauge do you recommend, the old fashioned stick or the revolutionary new digital ones? Are they actually worth the extra dollar and a half?

The rule of thumb is, don't use the digital ones unless they have knobs.

Knobs on tire pressure gauges, that's amazing! What will they think of next?

I understand the actual reason SDR's tanked was a lack of knobs. Wise consumers weren't foolish enough to buy a radio without knobs.

I pity the folks who got stuck with them.
