which one is pretty much popular? I'm obviously looking for accuracy as well as the bleeding function. Any brands recommended? Thanks

 

I like my Longacre gauge. Oddly enough, I've found 2 instances where it might have actually been helpful to get the glow-in-the-dark one... Don't ask.

 

I think I used the longrace one. I liked it. How much was it? Are there places online who sell these things? Thanks.

I've got the glow in the dark Longacre. Its awesome. It reads perfectly on the shitty valve stem that I've got too I got it from HMS Motorsport. http://www.hmsmotorsport.com/newstore.php?m=18&sub=870

I got This one

 

I dont even know what company mine is I like it though, big readout, rubber protective covering - cause you know I'm clumsy

 

Don't worry about accuracy as much as consistency. I have had long, drawn out arguements with friends about this. I know one guy who spent a TON of cash getting his gauge calibrated to be precise. Waste of time and money. If you read consistent, then the setting is all relative anyway. Just my .02.

 

Same goes for torque wrenches.

chris, i have the same guage. but, i haven't had good luck with them. i am on my second (replaced by snap on of course) the first one had a problem with the bleeder getting stuck, and now the second is started to read erradically. NO, i don't throw it or can even remember dropping them, but they seem to last only 2 years. i just ordered a longacre guage, and hopefully that'll last longer.

 

I have been using a Blue Point 0-100psi guage. It's accurate, has a bleeder valve, and remembers the last pressure you tested. It's no better or worse then any other guage of it's kind.
