Is there a particular brand name on it that you can post?
I don't mind if they read the same all the time, but some of the slider types tend to stick and I'm really not sure if I'm putting in equal psi on the tires.

Wow! That's a little pricey for my use. However, I suppose I could buy just one of these and use it on all my vehicles. Inconvenient but may be the solution.
