High reading tyre pressure gauge

[reb78]

Quick question - can anyone recommend a decent and accurate high pressure tyre pressure gauge? My trailer tyres are up in the 90psi area and my gauge gives up around 50. I doubt the compressor gauge is all that accurate and am a but ocd about this stuff.

Ah. Thanks! This one looks good and the angle of the head will help with a good seal on the calve on first push rather than letting all the air out as i try to read the pressure!

I'd go for a digital gauge personally.

Our digital PCL tyre inflator came with calibration certificate but wasn't cheap!.

It fires out the end.

That PCL looks as though it is based on the "Classic" Dunlop pencil gauge that have been around since the 1950's - I have three of them . They were designed to go in to a breast pocket just like a pen and have a clip for that. They are really good but max out at 50psi.

Small lorry?

 

[qwakers]

Define small. But few lorry tyres need to be over 100psi, mines 100 front and 80 rear.
