Replacement tire inflator and guage

My Harbor Freight inflator is starting to die so looking for a replacement.
Thinking Porter Cable like the compressor if they make one and want to know what the forumites use.

I’be been happy with my Porter Cable pancake air compressor. It doesn’t receive a lot of use but it always works.

Maybe go digital if you have low pressure mtb tires (~15psi)

We've been running the Craftsman version for years with no issues, it's got to be cheaper than the Porter Cable one and I have to imagine they're all overbuilt for the task at hand

I have something similar to the Lowe's model shown, with an old Silca head on it. Works great. FWIW I have found that the cheap Harbor Freight gauge reads the same as my SKS digital.

Why not a nice hand pump? Who doesn't need exercise?

I have to admit I got several good years from the HF and for $10 versus $30 to $40.
Anyone familiar with this?

I got a digital one and added a bike specific head (something like the topeak smart head) but a hirame/tanaka combo would be excellent I would imagine.
