An expensive tire gauge? Maybe. But not if it's old.
A sweep style meter? No.
Torque wrench? No.
Vernier? Probably okay.
Micrometer? Likely okay.
Ohmmeter? Likely no.

You should not be surprised.
Hence my issues with inflate-gate. They used an uncalibrated car type electric pump in a heated bathroom.
