Most guages now have a long recess in the chuck to let it fit more easily over the tire valve. All electronic tire guages are highly accurate, virtually dead-on, and are cheap from places like AutoZone, Pep Boys, Checker/Shuck's/Kragen, and Wal-mart. Pencil-type guages are the most rugged, provided they're made of metal, but some are chrome plated, and you can't always check with a magnet because many good guages are made of brass rather than steel. Plastic guages are prone to cracking where the chuck fits into the tube if the chuck is pressed in rather than screwed on. Dial guages can be as accurate as pencil guages, but when Consumer Reports last tested guages, in 2/1993, all of the least-accurate guages (off by +- 4 PSI average) were of the dial type, and no pencil-type guage erred more than +- 2 PSI. The most accurate pencil-type guages have shims at the end of their coil spring for calibration. Some good brands of mechanical guages are Schrader, Acme (not the Company that sold junk to Wiley E. Coyote), NAPA, Tru-Flate, and Camel. Some tire dealers, like Discount Tire, give out OK pencil-type guages for free.

Get some longer valve stems, or valve extensions so you can have about 3/4 to one inch of valve showing above the wheel cover. bob

There's a cog there, push it to the far end so that it unlaches from the gear, turn the spring to the next tooth, and let the cog re-engage. Repeat until it's accurate again. Ted

True, but the results were so consistent that I doubt they've changed much over the years. Their previous evaluation was published around 2/1987. and no pencil-type guage erred more than +- 2 PSI.

They are harder to read than dial and digital guages, but I don't see how they could be misread by more than 1 PSI, and that's only when the markings are in 2 PSI increments.

I've got a nice dial type made by AccuGage that I bought for about $15 or so from Sporty's Tool Shop (www.sportys.com) Its attachment goes straight in line with the valve stem, so no valve extensions are neccesary. It is encased in hard rubber. 0-60 lbs range. Nice....
