I am looking at buying a decent tyre pressure guage, after regularly finding that every time I use a forecourt airline, the readings seem to vary so much.
Even the guage on my footpump seem to have a mind of its own.
Anybody any ideas as to which would be a good buy, and where I could get one?
There seem to be a fair few on the market with big differences in price.
Any help would be most welcome.
Cheers
Steve

Halfords pencil guage. Less than a fiver and was as accurate as any others in the latest test I saw. Just chuck it in the glove box and replace once a year.
Unlike some of the fancy digital ones it is all metal so doesn't break at the slightest knock. Useful when you're a clumsy git like me.....

SPJ,
i have just been through the same exercise,
and eventually settled for an Accutire Premier Tyre Gauge from Demon Tweeks cost was £19.95 + del, arrived next day, has an aluminium body with rubberised ends with an LED readout.

I think the Accutire gauge is also sold by Halfords under their own brand name in some branches. I have the Halfords gauge and it looks like the same as the one in the DT catalogue. And it's great!
