Could do with replacing my very inaccurate tyre inflator that I use with an airline. (like those on garage forecourts)

Anyone got any recommendations for one that is accurate?

Thanks

Do you want an in-line one or a separate one?

I have this...

Probably not motorsport grade but found it, my Ring 12v inflator and my digital pressure gauge are sways within 1Psi of each other.

For a tenner it's fine.

No ideas for a name

I have a PCL one that came with a calibration certificate (mine is the older analogue type).

Digital ones are available... PCL-Digital-Tyre-Inflator-With-1-8M-Hose-Calibration-Certificate

Generically speaking digital are more robust & will be more accurate for more of the time as there is less chance of a knock/fall/bit of misuse making them read incorrectly.

The words 'accurate' and 'airline tyre gauge' rarely go together.

Edit to add: If you already have the inflator bit then (from a monetary POV) just buy a separate gauge unless it's a tool you use daily.
