I know its a bit above budget but had you considered one of these? - constant monitoring of tyre pressure is a far better bet for noticing a problem before getting a blow-out

PS no incentive no connection, just a happy customer.
What puts me off them is that the cap is used to seal the air, as opposed to a valve, and I can't see it working quite as well. Having said that, I've never tried them, so I might be entirely wrong.

Auto Express did a test a long while back and recommended Halfords' digital one for ease of use and accuracy. I bought one - about £11 - though I seem to recall it may be metric and come with an eminently losable conversion slip of paper...I recall a slip of paper and clearly don't check my pressures that often as I've found they tend to be fairly stable.
+1 - I also bought a Michelin one on Auto Express recommendation but it no longer works frown
I do find that the guage on my Michelin foot pump is accurate enough as well.
I've got one of those. Thought it had broken too. New battery sorted it! hehe
Got one too, also needed a new battery smile

Dont keep it in your pocket as it will get switched on all the time and run the battery down.
