Default Tire pressure gauge

Well, I went to use my tire pressure gauge and all of a sudden it pegged itself and now won't drop below 30lbs. It's toast. I though it was a good one too. It was that heavy duty orange 4X4 one with the hose attached to it that you find at Pep Boys.

Oh well ...

So I'll need a new one. What kinda gauge are you guy's useing?

personally, i've never had a problem with the little 2 dollar silver tube guages. cheap enough and small enough to have them stashed all over so you can always find one, even in your glovebox.

I snaked one from Big O when I worked there that goes to 80. Just a little cheap one. Works good though.

This is like the one that I had only mine was orange



I've seen all of these fancy digital gauges that will read up to 100lbs, but I didn't know if they were any good or if they were junk.
