Tire Pressure Gauge Recommendations

SInce so much discussion involves tire pressure, it seems to me a good gauge is required to accurately determine the pressure. What are some good, accurate gauges out there?

Thanks,
Greg

I would stay away from pencil type tire guages. Personally, I like the ones below with flex hose, relief valve and protective housing.

The first one might be a bit out of my tire-gauge price range at $285 but the second one's really nice at $34. I've used THIS ONE for a few years and it is said to be extremely accurate and reliable. Measures to the 1/2 lb. When the battery dies (hasn't in several years), you just toss it and buy a new gauge.

Nice avatar, by the way.

i have one simliar to that. came in a car kit from a brookstone type place. i think it was an xmas gift or something a year back or so. works pretty well, not THAT accurate but get the job done. Sometimes screws up if not put on properly, duh right.

anyway is that how yours is? nifty little tool tho i hafta say. should really put the batteries in the flashlight that came with it, never tried it.

Mine is one model older than the one I linked, actually. It is finicky about sealing properly to the valve stem, other than that it's great. I don't really have a way to check the accuracy but, from what I've read, it's very accurate.
