Tire Pressure gauge
Could anyone recommend an accurate tire pressure gauge ? I'd prefer a mechanical dial gauge rather than digital - I've never liked the idea of trying to get a reading and the battery craps out. What's everyone using ? Ther are many on the market but is one better than another ? I have one of those pen/stick one's but these old eyes would prefer a dial, I think. I haven't seen any answers after doing a couple of searches.

I just went through this....I had a digital, but it was off by 4 pds.......big amount!!!
I went to Autozone, and they have a mechanical dial for about $6....it is all metal, and very accurate.....Not sure of the brand, but it is the larger of the two they carry.

RE: Tire Pressure gauge
I got one of these from my local Auto Zone. It's a 4x4 gauge. Can't remember the brand but you can't miss it since it's bright orange. It's really great. Similar features to the one Muddy posted...bleed valve, only goes up to 70PSI so it's easier for my old eyes to see the hash marks, and holds the pressure reading until you reset it. Seems fairly rugged too being all metal.

I have a digital tire pressure gauge also with the word HUMMER on it. The batteries are dead and I recycled them without having replaced them first. Now I don't know what size/kind batteries it uses. There is nothing on the gauge or the case saying the kind of batteries it uses. Do you know? Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.
