I don't care if it's cheap, a tyre gauge must be accurate, otherwise it's no good to you. Any digital measuring device needs to be calibrated to ensure accuracy.

My gauge is made by PCL, pneumatic components limited of Sheffield. Not Quinzu province.

Just like this one

Accurate, simple and as long as you don't lose it should last you a lifetime.

the bloody batteries would cost you more than the pressure gauge itself,

My dad has incorrectly pressured tyres on his car thanks to a cheap digital tyre gauge...everything was measuring higher than it was....I prefer the old fashioned gauges myself that are attached to pumps...

Got myself one of these last week and very happy with it:

Seems very accurate compared to the "analogue" type that I have. Stick it in your pocket and away you go.

buy it, test it against a few nearby garages, take it back if its crap. Shall i do it and report back?

Ought to be, they cost as much as a pump with gauge does...£23 ouch!

I can't see any gauge being that far out to make any real difference and unless you have a way of calibrating/checking the accuracy, nobody will be none the wiser.

Bike or Ride magazine done a round up of gauges several months ago and found some expensive ones to be more out than cheaper ones.

I think it's more important to use the same gauge over and over.

My dads cheap digital gauge had my tyre pressure at 41psi when it was 36psi....quite a difference there. We double checked with a standard pump with gauge that was know to be fine...it was a really cheap digital gauge though from Aldi I think
