Default Accurate tire pressure gauge

For anyone looking for an accurate hand held gauge get a Yellow Jacket 49048 or 49068 refrigeration gauge. 1% accuracy, Heavy duty brass gauge/glass bezel with quality internals and only $27.00 from testequipmentdepot.com Then get a cheapo HF tire checker and replace the gauge

Toget an accurate psi reading the gauge should be twice the desired pressure you are looking at....in HD case the gauge should go from 0-80 psi for a better reading....
Just an FYI....
( i deal with gas pressure every day..)

I'm perfectly happy with my Milton gauges. Been using them for 35 years.

A typical day in Wisconsin the temperature varies 30 degrees. So your pressure is going to vary more than the inaccuracy of a Milton gauge.

I use these gauges daily in my HVAC BUSINESS, they are accurate over their range.
