Can anybody recommend a good quality analog gauge that is not ridiculously expensive? I can do with just a gauge. I have hoses and such. I’d like something under $100. Thanks

Any reason you don’t want digital? This Longacre is less than $100 and will do front and rear tires.

Among all the digital gauges not Intercomp, the Longacre is probably the best one. I used one for years before it died and I bought a Intercomp.

Used this one til I got tired of carrying a separate gauge for the fronts and went digital. It was accurate to the gauge my dad uses when I got it and my new gauge my s accurate to it so I assume we either have 3 duds that read the same or 3 good gauges.

You can always just buy a gauge off McMaster-Carr if you only want a gauge. Even NIST traceable.

Tony, I have been using my Longacre for 4-5 years now.

Why not search "calibrated air pressure gauges" on eBay? you should be able to find exactly what you need for what you want to spend.


This one is used but it's just an example:

Mine lasted for about 6-7 years then wouldn't power up.

I know I may get a bunch of qwap for this but that's OK...a friend had one of these and I borrowed it one time...worked so good I bought one...very inexpensive but works like a charm...nice swivel chuck and large digital read out...lights up nice and bright at night for my tired old eyes...0-60 lbs. in tenth increments...

Best tire gauge I have had was a cheap digital one I bought on E-Bay I think it was like $12. It had very fine resolution and batteries lasted for a long time. I put the gauge on an old Moroso hose assembly. Analog gauges can lose calibration if they are dropped.

The good digital gauge lasted for years then it got ran over. Did not survive that. Can not find same gauge any more.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
