Tire Pressure Gauge

[eric212]

Hi, I am on the hunt for a good quality tire pressure gauge, something that goes down to 5 PSI to satisfy the requirements for the oversand permit, and also goes up to 65 - 70 PSI (or more). All the ones I can find at the local auto parts stores are so cheap and never seem to be accurate or last very long. I bought 2 el-cheapo models recently and they show a 9 lb difference between them! I'm not afraid to pay a little more to get something that will be accurate and durable, but I can't seem to find anything much better on the shelf in the stores.

Does anyone have one they really like and can point me in the direction to find one like it?

here are the ones I bought that don't work so great:

Can't recall where I got mine, been a long time. BUT, you will likely need two. Usually the ones that will do 80 are not to accurate at 5 and visa versa. Happy Hunting.

We have this. Actually we have 2 of them. Works great on the airbags too. No problems with it.

Yea, I've noticed that most of the ones that go up above 60 don't show as much detail on the lower side.

Could you try that link again? I click on it but it just takes me to the JC Whitney homepage.

Thanks,

I have a battery powered one that came from SEARS, I like it but use deflators to get the air out so I never really check the low end as the deflators are preset.

All I can tell you is to search tire guages on their site. It is the 5-160 one. I copied and pasted the link to that page and it brings me right to it.
