I put my faith in a cheap digital Accutire gauge I got from Canadian Tire two decades ago. I guess I don't actually know how accurate it is, but it is extremely consistent
I find that mine is consistent as well and I think that is more important if you can only choose between exact or consistent!I put my faith in a cheap digital Accutire gauge I got from Canadian Tire two decades ago. I guess I don't actually know how accurate it is, but it is extremely consistent
Inconsistent is complete garbage as it's just guessing and needs to go in the garbage. With a consistent but inaccurate gauge, by comparing against others or known good, you can use it with a manul offset like bitzz mentioned.I find that mine is consistent as well and I think that is more important if you can only choose between exact or consistent!
That is what I use most of the time. Much faster.How about gauges attached to an air chuck. I keep promising myself I'll buy one but instead I add air check, add air check, release too much etc etc.
Yup, even if they're not accurate, they're handy to get in the ballpark. My inflator has a built-in readout so I just over-inflate by 1 or 2 psi and then use the bleed valve on the Motion Pro to bring it down to the pressure I want. A quick press on the bleed valve button can drop the pressure by as little as .1 PSI per squirt, so accidentally releasing too much air isn't a problem.How about gauges attached to an air chuck.

One you recommend?That is what I use most of the time. Much faster.
Meh. I have a PA one that I had to replace the gauge on as it had gone way off and a milton similar to this. They are ok but not great. If I get another one it will be digital. It will probably be dead every time I want to use it though as most cheap digital things have high phantom draw and I'm not spending hundreds on one.One you recommend?

They all suck.
I bought some good ones over the years and they sucked.
So now I use a crap one!
If I set all 4 tires on a car to "32 psi", the same gauge will still read "32" on all tires a week later (at the same time of day, same temperature, etc).Wait, wut..?
How can one determine consistency if it's not accurate...?
If it's "wrong" all the time... I mean... How..? Wait.... Like...

I can't prove "32 psi" = 32 psi though
