Tire pressure gauges
Have the typical stick type gauge, which I don't trust. So I bought one with a dial and needle. Got home to check it out and Great it works real nice. 64 lbs. Got out the old stick type and it reads 5...

This thread got me thinking. Please bear with me. This morning I was airing up a car tire that was low. I used the gauge on airhose/trigger type assembly. I filled it to the appropriate level (51 lbs). Then I decided to use another gauge and it read 44 lbs. Whoa...7 lbs difference. I found another gauge I have used a lot and when I used it, it was around 44 lbs. Then it made me think, I have been using the hose assembly with the trigger for awhile now so when I thought I had the right amount of air in the tires, I was actually low. Granted, the two could be bad and the one with the high reading could be the good one, but I am doubting that. I will continue to check with a few other gauges I have (try to keep them in vehicles) to see what they record.
