I bought a cheapie tire gague a few years ago, one of those pencil types, and it’s acting nutty, giving me a super-high PSI followed by a more normal PSI (36 is what’s recommended.) I’m unemployed so I’m watching every nickel & dime. Can my pencil gague be prepared some way? (Probably not.) Can some…

HomeDepot sells a nice Husky digital pressure “gauge” for $7 in their piles of holiday stuff next to registers. I bought one 2 years ago and it still serves me well. It’s out for the same price again this year.

For all the grief Slime gauges get, I’ve been using a cheap digital one from Walmart for 5 years, matched my dial gauge, lights up, easy to read. Fine by me.

I got an air pump with pressure gauge for $20 or so, though finding free air with a pressure gauge would be the cheapest. I have been happy enough with the free gauges.

I’ve got both but use the dial one most often. I never pay much for them and even got them free. I agree though for cars, you need the one that just goes up to 50# or so. I guess I don’t worry if they exactly match what my tps says, as long as I get them all the same.

I have a Slime gauge too. Pencil style in my case. It works well from what I can tell. I’ve had it for years. I wasn’t aware I wasn’t supposed to like it. Seems you learn something new every day.

I had an Accutire MS-4021B tire gauge, and it was the best I’ve ever used! I think you can get them for about 10 bucks. I unfortunately lost mine somehow, and I plan to get another one ASAP [image] Accutire MS-4021B Standard Digital Tire Pressure Gauge The Accutire-MS 4021B Standard Di…

My most accurate and consistent tire pressure gauge, my go-to, is from Harbor Freight, pencil type, couple of dollars. My comparison is the gauge at the local gas station, and mine always matches it to within +/- 1 psi. I was wondering how a person would know if their gauge were actually accur…

It seems to me that Consumer Reports once tested tire gauges. If my memory is correct, that was years ago. My guess is that today’s subscribers to CR probably don’t check the air pressure in their tires. I have to admit that at my age, I don’t do it as often as I should. If a tire looks low, I ch…

I had a dial type that was good, until it wasn’t.One day it started to give me bizarre readings. I have a 20 yr old pencil type that I got for 0.99 cents from AZ while I was broke and I still have it and it works fine. The compressor I got from Harbor Freight also had one with it, pencil type and i…

I have a couple of Accu-Gauge dial dire gauges. They are under $10 and do a good job.
