What's a good brand of tyre pressure gauge. I've been through two Halfords digital gauges in the last six months. I would prefer to spend good money now on something accurate that will last.

Cheers

Was about £15 when I bought it.
When checked for accuracy by other gauges, it only differed when compared to a faulty piece of shit I bought.
This is not actually from their "Expert" range, but you could never tell from the construction.

Haha, co-incidence... that's the "faulty piece of shit" I bought.
On arrival mine was out by around 10 psi, and the seal had failed so it released air the moment I took it off the tyre valve.

That's not to say that they're all crap of course, but buyer beware! Smile

Couple of years ago I read some comparison test of 30 gauges.

Interestingly the Halfords own brand digital gauge came about 4th in the test for accuracy, but cost only £10. The gauges above it were all £30-£90.

Good choice Thumbs Up

I've got the same one. Nice and easy to use too, the flexi hose means you can get in at the valve with no problems.
