Tire gauge that doesn't suck?

I've never had luck with products from truck stop.Next time you're at a truck dealer buy a guage there.I have a tire gauge that's like 15 yrs old which was given to me by a trk mechanic at Werner.

 

How do you break them? I'm on my first one from when I started at tmc 3 yrs ago

 

My biggest problem is, I put it in my back pocket then jump in the truck with it and sit down and breaks them.

 

So stop doing that. Mine stays on the floor next to my seat and the door until I need it

 

Same here, plus a spare in my tool box

 

Spend a little more, and forever rest your frustrations...Heck, buy one of those gladhand connectors and use it inflate tires to your satifaction.

I've had this at my shop for 4 years...never looked back at those $20 digital gauges or the pencil gauges.

EDIT:
You can use it as a "checking gauge" by just turning it on, and inserting the valve-stem into the nozzle. It will give you a read-out of the tire pressure.

I've had the same tire gauge for almost 20 years. I calibrate it every 6 months or so. But it wasnt a 10 dollar truck stop gauge. Hit up your local snapon guy. Buy once or spend 3 times as much over time.

 

Find ya a Milton tire gauge... If they still make em anymore???
