Tire pressure gauge recommendations

[rwsaunders]

While my floor pump (Blackburn Airtower HP) works very well, it's gauge does not go back to zero without several taps on the lens. I'm getting tired of the ritual but I don't want to buy another pump. Any recommendations for a tire pressure gauge? Thanks

PS I know that it has a lifetime warranty but who knows where I bought it as it's about 3-4 years old. Chalk up the wear and tear to the frequent pumping of latex tubulars I guess.

Never trust the gauges on the floor pumps. Get an SKS Airchecker. Under $25, digital and will handle presta/schrader.

That's what I have.

Topeak D2 SmartGauge seems to have the best reviews on Amazon for whatever that's worth.

I like the Accugage, I have the low pressure on for my snow bike and the regular for the rest.

I have the smaller Accugauge also. What I don't like about it is the pointer drops noticeably as the gauge is removed from the valve stem, probably 5+ pounds.

blackburn is great about wty - send it back you get a new one. but, call first.

SKS Airchecker as well.

Now I am looking at a better gauge. Anyone try the Topeak D2? Good Amazon reviews. The Accu-Gage sure is cheaper, though.

I have an Accu-Gage as well.

Works just fine and is pretty accurate in indoor temps.

+1 accu-gauge. bikes, cars, moto.

also, you can prolly replace that "integrated" gauge on your blackburn with any one of a number of aftermarket gauges. they're inexpensive and all you need is some teflon tape to seal the threads. why not upgrade to a silca gauge?

Michelin-branded Wonder Vigil. It's the Rapha of gauges.

I've got a Planet Bikes one...seems well made, but gotta admit that I don't use it much.
