I have the worst luck with these things. I've probably spent $100 on them in the last several years. I'm not forking over another $10 or $15 for a quality dial or digital - the bronze dial ones will become uncalibrated with the slightest jar or drop. My $15 digital one died on me today after 2 years. The pencil ones I've found aren't accurate and the readings end up all over the map sometimes.
The cheaper dial ones without a bleed valve: does the measured pressure stay put on the gauge and slowly drop, or does it just go back to 0 the instant you remove it from the valve stem? I'm thinking of giving one a try. I've read they aren't as succeptable to damage as the precision bronze bourdon tube.
Thanks!
