I have a Halfords single barrell foot pump and use the guage on that. To be honest, the guage is pretty accurate, showing about +/- 1psi form my hand held gauage.

I've got this
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryrn_31576] Works great. Much better than any foot pump I have used. |

If you are going to buy a foot pump (the best type in my opinion) make sure you get a double barrel one - inflates quicker and more importantly is more stable due to the wider foot print.

I use a double barrel foot pump and a Motrax digital gugue.
Cheap footpumps are great if they work, but beware, mine reads about 15 psi over the real pressure!

I use an ancient plastic stirrup pump I got about 15 years ago... Still works a charm. No integral gauge, but that's OK since they're always wrong anyway.

I use the halford 12V digital rapid tyre infaltor. you set the pressure and turn it on and bobs your unlce it switches itself off when it's done. it's even good enough to pop beads on bike tyres when you are fritting new ones
