How can you check if yours if correct?
I bought a decent gauge from Halfords, however it, the ciggie lighter pump and the foot pump all give different pressure readings on the same tyre.
So how the f*ck do I work out which gauge is telling the truth

Is the Halfords one Digital? I've just bought one from Halfords and the reading is identical to my other digital gauge and a mates digital gauge. I've always found the dial ones on foot pumps inaccurate.

Topeak do a digital pressure guage which can do presta or schrader valves and is supposed to be accurate to within 0.25-0.75% when it leaves the factory.
You can get them from most good cycle shops and they go up to a very high pressure reading (in excess of 100PSI, which should suffice for your Scoob!).
