I just picked this up at Wal-Mart (only $7) this weekend and I love it! I know it's pretty cheap, but it tests well against my other gauges. It ranges from 5-99 PSI in .1 PSI increments although, I've only tested it in the 40-50 PSI range.
Differences from CH gauge:
stick: +/- .5 PSI
dial: - 2-3 PSI
digital gauge on my Craftsman air compressor: + 4-5 PSI
tire pressure sensors in the Jeep: + 1-2 PSI
I went a little overboard when you guys started talking about your gauges being inaccurate, but I only purchased this gauge and the dial recently. (~$15 for the two) I've been gradually raising the pressure in my tires over the last several weeks. The sidewall rating is 35 PSI. They started at about 34, then I raised them to 44-45 after about a week. Recently I raised them up to 48-49. When I was running 44-45 I did a one way trip of ~60 miles about 90% interstate @70MPH. Warm pressure was 47-48.
I thought you all might find a couple of my experiences helpful.
