Question O'reilly auto parts Gauges VS Name Brand?

What's the difference between O'rielly Auto Parts Gauges and name brand gauges?

Is there a lasting or quality difference?

You get what you pay for IMO. I'm sure the brands like Autometer, Borg Warner, and Defi will outlast the O'reilly ones.

I work at Oh Really's and yes, the Equis gauges suck. If you want something worth-while, buy Autometer. If you need something quick, they'll be okay.

+1

Only gauges we sell that I would buy are the Autometers.

I have had a wide range of gauges, from o'reilly to my current defi gauges. You get what you pay for. If you want cheap, at least swing for a prosport.
