Title: Tire Gauge
Post by: Old Hippie on December 28, 2014, 11:26:02 am
I am looking for an accurate (+/- 1 psi)  digital tire air gauge that will clamp to the valve stem without leaking air.
Does anyone have any recommendations? At least 150 psi.

I've been very pleased with the Astro 3018.  The handle trigger is very easy to hold for filling big tires.  The chuck sometimes needs mild holding to optimize are flow/leaking.  Great display.

This one works well, pressure checks out to my digital gauge.  Only ~$13.

 The best thing for me was to obtain the components that met my spec's and then assembled them to fit my needs relative to location of gage, angle of chuck and location of fill valve.  (i.e., make it work for you)  Have a great day  ----  Fritz

Just remember that the best tire gauge will not tolerate even one drop.

Normally I am sort of frugal but like nice tools like a few others here I bet.

I bit the bullet and purchased on the power tank fillers.

OMG.  Airplane part beautiful.  Machined.  If you like nice things, this is it.
