Default What Tire Gauge are you Using?

Seems like a minor point.....But given that Tire Pressure is so important for a number of reasons, I would interested to know what Tire Pressure Gauges you are using. There are literally a ton of choices from the very cheap to the insane..The real question is what is the best gauge to use that is the most accurate.

Just to be clear the TPMS sensors installed on every vehicle is primarily used for "Safety". So what that means to me is that if no warning light appears on the dash you just have a safe amount of pressure in your tires....not the appropriate amount of pressure. There is a difference.

I personally have a Brookstone digital gauge that cost about $60. I occasionally check the readings with an old pencil gauge I have in the garage and there's usually a difference of about 2 psi between them. I just don't trust either gauge and have been thinking about a Accu-Gauge ($20 Analog Model on Amazon) which i saw being used on one of those Car Cable TV shows on Velocity.

Would be interested to hear what you are using.
