Thanks guys. I have the big Magnum Longacre on order. The Moroso guage looks great too. Figure I cannot go wrong with the recommendations on Longacre and I like the price!

I like the swival angle chuck. My Longacre Magnum has been very reliable and accurate. I'm sure the others are good too. I just like the Magnum.

I got on the Longacre Mangum train, but it only lasted outside of the one year warranty before it stopped holding the pressure reading - it drops between 0-8 PSI when pulled away from the valve stem. Annoying. I've had better luck with far cheaper gauges...

I've always used Wika or 3d Instruments...Pressure Gauges

Has worked well for me. I guess you know the old adage....buy cheap...buy twice

Whatever you get, make sure you calibrate it against a known set of data.

I use the Longacre digital temp compensating gauge. It has a memory function for both temp and pressure. I'm lazy.
