I have a good Milton tire chuck/gauge that goes on the air hose like an old gas station set-up, bought in the last couple of years. Did you know they are adjustable? Mine was off quite a bit from our known, *dead nuts* analog gauges, so I watched a YT video about calibrating it and got it nearly perfect after one stab at it.

I'm OCD in general and definitely about tire inflation. I also recently lost or misplaced my Accu-gage with the hose as pictured above so I ordered the small one, (also pictured above), and it's very accurate. I share space with a motorcycle track fanatic who has several high quality tire gauges and the way we check them is to try maybe a half a dozen on one tire and if 3 or 4 agree perfectly, those are the properly calibrated ones and the others are off. 3 or 4 good gauges could not all be off exactly the same...those are the *correct ones.* I tested my new AG next to a known perfect one and it was on the $$.
