Tire pressure gauge

[N227RV]

Can anyone point me to an accurate tire pressure gauge that I can carry around in the Boxster? I had a genuine Porsche gauge that bit the dust at age 20+ and have been fumbling with pencil type gauges from auto parts stores - but none of them agree with each other, which makes me doubt that this is the right approach.

I have used the Long Acre dial gauge for years on my car for track days and regular use on my other cars. Very durable and accurate.

We have used Intercomp 0-60 tire pressure gauges for years

Project Farm did it!

I bought the Etenwolf. Small, cheap and accurate enough.

You do not need Porsche gauge to check tire pressure...

Any gauge will do. Recently I switched from mechanical, large scale 0-60 psi, to electronic one. Smaller and backlit so easy to read at night.

I just bought a digital one at Harbor Freight for under $20 and I'm impressed with it's accuracy of less than 1psi at <50psi. I checked it against 3 "dial gauges and it was extremely accurate.

I also like that it has a hose connected to it making it easy to reach difficult valve locations on a couple of my vehicles. I also like it's backlight for use in darker locations.

I know lots of China junk at HF but this one item seems to be very good.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a few of those gauges were made by the same Chinese company and just labeled differently.
