    Air pressure hand gauges are cheap. Air is free.
    Time costs money.
    Unless you have excess time.

    I could make a fortune off roadside tire repair, or brake repair.

    In this day and time with a smartphone, you can usually find the nearest tire shop on your phone.
    I usually carry all the stuff to replace a tire if needed. I always carry a trailer spare, and will replace it myself if needed. If I can get to a tire shop though, I'll usually have them change it. If they have a good deal on a decent tire, I may buy a tire from them, otherwise, I'll have them just put my spare on.

    I have two cordless 20v DeWalt 3/8 and 1/2 drive impact wrenches in my truck. I also have IR 2235timax under bed. It's a beast. Easily can take off any rusted lug nut. I have quick connector installed on secondary air tank to run this gun.
    I'm a maniac :) everywhere I go I take my tools with me.
