The title says it all. I have tried digital gauges and prefer an analog round gauge. I have used the cheap ones, like the Slime brand from auto parts stores, and a couple of the Jaco brand. Twice I have dropped a Slime on the garage floor, and they are instantly about 15 lbs off, a very fragile unit. The two Jacos I have start to bleed off as soon as I take it off the valve stem. Sometimes so fast I can't get a good read.
So, back to my title. Any recommendations for a tough, reliable round analog gauge.?

Click & Clack, that brings back memories. I enjoyed listening to on Saturday mornings.

This guy is usually pretty objective.
Project Farm is the way. Just buy whatever he recommends unless it's Chinese and you don't want to support that. He rated a Jabco highly and a could Chinesiums.

I've been using and enjoying this Autometer unit for 2 years. Well built, quality gauge which is easy to read.

I have the same type of gauge (exact really), but made by another Company…. I think I’ve had the dang thing for over 20+ years now. I keep in in the trunk of my S550 (and move it car to car when switching primary driver). It’s never failed even after being dropped a couple of times. I like the fact that it’s easy to get onto the valve stem and the ability to “de-air” the tire with the little push button.

I’ll get a pic of it and post it later.
