Where can i get a good/accurate tire pressure gauge with a bleeder valve that isn't too expensive?

 

And now for a word for my supplier-LONGACRE Racing has several excellent ones in their line. We have the 2.5" 0-60psi model with 14" hose and it works great.

 

I've been thru about 4 gauges so far in the past 3 years. I started out using crappy $3 ones and then moved to a $10-15 gauge from walmart that had a bleeder valve on it. The valve on it sucked but kept on using it because I didn't want to throw away my money. A couple months later i dropped it and stopped working. I then purchased a longacre one back in june and has been great. It was $30 but well worth it. I can bleed off air almost to the tenth of a psi. Its only accurate to each 1 psi but you can kinda guess where inbetween each psi you are.

 

thought i saw an ad in sportscar for a 0-60 guage for like $19.95 which is a good deal. was just like the one they sell at RPW with the nice angled head, but it wasnt RPW... ill dig it up.

 

bought a longacre gauge from OG racing. gets tossed around alot, and works just fine. $30 -

 

Moroso 0-60# gauge for $30.

 

El cheapo special with bleeder valve from Autozone - $13 - seems to work just fine.

 

Pep Boys special... just bought it. So far so good.

 

Summit Racing has a nice Rebco one for $19.95.

 

Snap-On 0-60. I forget how much it was, but it was similar to other quality gauges (unlike most stuff with their name on it).

You can try http://www.soloperformance.com

If your going to nationals you can stop by their trailer or order online.

 

I ordered an 0-60 gauge from RPW. I *got* an 0-30 and promptly forgot about it after a year of flailing on the car...funny how $30 gets to be an afterthought...

In any event, I checked my twelve dollar AutoZone rotary gauge against this thing, and found it to be perfectly accurate (assuming the RPW one was accurate).

So either I just got *REALLY* lucky, or the dial-type auto parts store gauges are actually pretty good.

YMMV.

 

i honestly wouldnt mind using a pencil guage except it not having a bleeder valve which is so damn useful. theyre not so inaccurate, and i know they are consistent.
