I now have a list 10 different air gages to chose from aside from the one I have. Any guesses on how many of those were made in China?

I am smoking a cigar now

Astro Pneumatic is a good brand. I'm happy with mine. The new ones use AAA batteries, mine uses a large watch battery

Milton makes a reliable air gauge.

I got this one for Christmas, haven't used it yet but hope it's decent. $80 is crazy but hey it was a gift. I'll try it out this weekend before my run to the Hill Country.

Mine works fine. Got it for a gift a couple years ago. So far my tires haven't exploded or anything.

Bought this one that I've used on my R1200RT. Works well. I believe it to be accurate as the bike has TPMS(Tire Pressure Monitoring System) and it generally matches the readout on the TPMS. I am careful not to drop the gauge or bang it against anything. As far as Tobacco, I've been 100% free from it for 25 years today...tough road, but I did it! So can you!

I finally tried this thing out this weekend. Seems very well made and pretty hefty and solid. Worked flawlessly. I can check the rear now without removing a saddlebag.
