It's good, but sadly it's £3.74 over budget. frown

Anyone remember that free offer for a pressure gauge so many of us signed up for?

Can't even recall which company it was with now, anyone ever get theirs?

Bit more than your budget but is easy to use and has a pressure release valve making it easy to get the tyres to the right pressure without removing the gauge from the valve.

getting what you recommended for 13 odd quid I think, the free surprise gift swung the deal for me, I wonder what it is?

Most accurate one I've ever had is a dial gauge (and I've had a lot!). An example:-

I've got one of those coming from Santa.
I think it came out well in an Auto Express (or similar) test.

And another vote here too - got a couple of those ones (or similar). Prefer an analogue dial over a digital display. Apparently they f**k up if you drop them though so I've always been careful.
