Best tire gauge for 60 psi tires

I like analog gauges (no batteries to worry about). I use this one. (Amazon) It does the job.

Yeah, I had about the same results.

The readings on my gauge flash for 5 seconds then blank. I would like one that holds the LCD reading longer. Any suggestions? Consumer Reports did a test and declared all they tested to be "Unbelievably Accurate"

There's a couple reasons I like the Slime gauges:

1. The display is backlit, and the tip is lit making it easy to use and read.

2. It's easy to hold and get a decent reading.

3. The display lasts about 90 seconds. I have several that are a couple years old and still running on the original battery.

I have 5 of them and they are all within a couple psi of each other.

I like Milton mechanical gauges. Here's a 10-70 psi Milton pencil gauge on eBay.

There's also the 20-120 psi version.

The electronic accutire worked well for me except in the extreme cold (way below freezing)) after leaving it out in the truck over night.

Current one is a mechanical dial gauge with a hose extension that goes to 120psi. It reads and holds the max pressure; you reset to zero with a little button or use that to bleed the pressure down to what you want.

Similar to this one: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Accutire-Heavy-Duty-Dial-Tire-Gauge-MS5010/204488012

Thanks for the link and suggestion. For the price of that mechanical gauge, I might pick one of those up, also. My Milton mechanical gauges have gone MIA. :(

Can you replace the battery in the gauge you have? Even if it's not advertised/intended to be replaced, I'd try opening it up and seeing if it could reasonably be changed; after all, there's nothing to lose but a tire pressure gauge that isn't working anyhow.

The gauge is going onto the table in the AM. Like said, nothing to lose and a pack of those A76 batteries are cheap. The original digital gauge I have is similar to the Accutire mentioned above. It worked well for over ten years.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
