Are they all much the same? I don't trust the auto cut off petrol station pumps/gauges and I have a small Lidl digital one, but I'm not sure how accurate that is either.

Should I be getting a decent analogue gauge like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Draper-Tyre-Pressure-Gau...

They can vary quite dramatically from new and a relatively small knock can push them way out of calibration.

I use a Halfords digital gauge. It suggested the gauge on my Machine Mart footpump isn't very accurate.
