Halfords used to do an electronic one which was not expensive and easy to carry, I had two, one for the 'bike and the other for the car. Seemed accurate enough.

been told my halfords digital one has given BS readings so that being case how about the better ones?
Thinking of the real expensive ones on demon tweaks such as http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/catalo...=Find+products or slightly cheaper how about http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=91948
I want sumin easy to use but most importantly durable & accurate.
Any experts or thoughts please folks?

The dial type seem to be the most popular ones used as scrutineers' "master gauges" for sporting trials cars where accuracy is important as tire pressures are stipulated at each event and are usually between 3 and 5 PSI!

I use a calibrated digi gauge.Very accurate. Get what you pay for basically. A good digi will cost about £80 .
