How do you know it is accurate, because the manufacturer said it was?

Lots of manufacturers state their gauges are accurate, and then they all show different values.

The best is buy two-three different ones and take an average.

The venhill gauge I use consistently has the same values as the onboard vehicle tyre pressure sensors on my motorbikes and cars. I also have a halfords electric pump/gauge which always reads 2 psi under actual so the tyre gets overinflated. I use the venhill to set the pressures correctly. Never had any issues.

thanks, I may get myself a third gauge

I've had one of these for some 5 years: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Michelin-Rapid-12262-Tyre...
I plug it into the car every weekend & do bike & car tyres at the same time. I've checked pressures against other gauges every now & then, & it seems pretty much spot-on.
