Looking for suggestions on who currently makes good tire pressure gauges. I prefer a dial with a hose. Will need at least 80 lbs so I'm looking at options with a 0-100 range. Might also consider getting an inflater style for some uses but I've never had/used one of those. Thanks.

Digital gauges are great tools, until someone puts them in a tool box & tosses a Ratchet wrench on top of it
A shop that has a Shop box, where more than one person works out of the box, is taking chances. i have seen it happen more than once with a Digital Torque Wrench :(

I can be a bit rough on my truckers tire gauge, as long as the gauge is pushed in

Just slide it into a piece of PVC pipe, with end caps!

I have used different pressure gauges since the 60's when my Dad had a service station. Milton was the big name then, and they do make nice products. I have also used Snap-on analog with the hose. A couple of years ago I purchased a Longacre brand, and I have found that to be the best tire gauge I have ever used. Analog with hose and a 2 1/2 dial. They are on the pricey side when it comes to tire pressure gauges, but I feel it is well worth every penny.

Whatever your preference for an air gauge, Longacre has you covered. Digital, analog, liquid filled or filler gauges and air tanks. Quality air pressure gauges
