dragon02 Posted 17May, 2015 Report Share Posted 17May, 2015 Can anyone recommend a good, accurate tyre gauge that won't break the bank? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrera28 Posted 17May, 2015 Report Share Posted 17May, 2015 I have had an Accu-Guage in the glove box of most cars I have owned for the last 10 years or so to avoid having to rely on the crappy guages at petrol stations. Always found them to be good, just pay attention as they sell low pressure guages as well which won't read high enough for a car tyre. From what I have read though the dial guages can be knocked out of accuracy quite easily through knocks and drops etc. A driving instructor I know uses an electronic guage that he got from Jaycar for less then $50 and he swears by that, he reckons that's all you need.

spiller Posted 17May, 2015 Report Share Posted 17May, 2015 I recently purchased a bluepoint digital gauge for around $100. A lot for a gauge but it's accurate within 1% and very easy to use with repeatable measurements. The quality is excellent. It will hopefully last me a lifetime. Purchased online from snap on but it looks like their site is currently down so I can't link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinE Posted 18May, 2015 Report Share Posted 18May, 2015 This one was recommended when I did a 4wd training course many years ago. Cheap and accurate. I purchased another one today for the 964. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TOYOTA-TYRE-PRESSURE-GAUGE-WITH-PROTECTIVE-CASE-NEW-GENUINE-ACCESSORY-/271321185096?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3f2c00bb48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC78 Posted 27May, 2015 Report Share Posted 27May, 2015 Does anybody know how those classic porsche mechanical guages rate? The one which comes in the nice leather case? Accurate and worth the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
