Looking for a good tire pressure gauge

Yes, I'm tired of these pep boys/Auto zone's cheap tire pressure gauges ! I need something that's consistent. Something that's accurate. I don't mind analog or digital. I don't mind

Yes, I'm tired of these pep boys/Auto zone's cheap tire pressure gauges! I need something that's consistent. Something that's accurate. I don't mind analog or digital. I don't mind spending a little more if it's worth it. What do you use? Feedback? Any recommendation you have?

Thanks

Ugh, I don't think he's changing his tires... He's asking what are some good air pressure gauges to check the pressure..

AK, The Motion Pro or maybe a Longacre tire pressure gauges are usually always the best.
We also use a nice Moroso tire pressure gauge that has been perfectly accurate for years.

I had a liquid filled Longacre which started leaking. Replaced it with a Moroso three years ago and have never looked back. If you get the Moroso make sure your spring for the $5 gauge cover.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

So looks like I'm down to these two gauges (I think)


This one looks pretty good. Ranked no. 5 best selling on amazon. But it's got a 3.5 rating out of 5. Some problems were valve stem connection leak and batch of bad units.




Now here's the MOROSO one that got whooping 4.5 out of 5! Everyone seem to like it. Ranked no. 3 on the best selling list. So, I maybe leaning toward this one now.

Any more input from anyone? Probably $30-40 range. Thanks.

I just returned an Accutire one. It worked great on the one my friend has, but the new one I got failed as the valve kept leaking air!

i use #5. it's been the best out of the 10 or so ive tried so far.

the biggest difference is in the valve nozzle part. no leaks.
