+1 on Longacre, I have this one (digital version at Costco) and it works great. It was a bit cheaper from Amazon but not a huge difference. Either way definitely recommended.

I got a digital one from Canadian Tire, and after comparing with my DE instructor, it appears to read ~1.5psi too high

one thing to remember, particularly for track use...It's not so much the absolute reading/calibration that matters, but rather consistency for comparison use; everyone has different pressure settings, just need a gauge that allows you to consistently get the tire to its sweet spot...

+1 Consistency is key. I've had a Longacre Analog for many years but carry the cheaper pressure gages with the popup stick in all my cars, you never know when you'll need it on a trip. I compare each popup gage with the Longacre at my target pressure(s) and tape the pressure difference on the gage so it keep things close.

That BluePoint is a damn good deal considering all the features... nice recommendation.

Very good choice!!! That is a lifetime pressure gauge that should serve you well...

If Costco carries other Longacre parts I would be sooooo happy... Bulk alignment turn plates, digital scales, and aluminum drive on ramps would be great. I could just imagine trying to convince my wife that we need to buy them and place it right next to the chia seeds and coconut oil. ;-)
