I’m curious about the reliability of digital manifold gauges compared to analog ones. While I appreciate the accuracy that digital options promise, I’ve noticed some inconsistency issues on job sites, especially during high-pressure tests. Has anyone else experienced this, or are there specific models you trust for quality and compliance?
I’ve found that the key with digital gauges is proper calibration before each job; it can make a huge difference in their reliability. That said, I still prefer the analog gauges for quick checks, especially in high-pressure situations — there’s just something about that needle that feels more consistent. What specific models have you tried that you’re uncertain about?
I’ve definitely felt that inconsistency too, especially when the pressure’s high. Calibration’s crucial, but I’ve also had good luck with the Fieldpiece models — seems like they hold up better in tough conditions. What models are you currently using that are giving you trouble?
