My old Pressographe has given up the ghost so I'm looking for a good quality replacement. Assuming better dial gauges (incl. liquid filled) with short hoses and bleed valves are the most accurate / repeatable / durable, I'm seeking recommendations. Or are digitals worth considering? Any comments would be most appreciated.

After a lot of searching and some good feedback on another forum, I ordered an Intercomp #360060 3.5" 0-60psi gauge.


Picture here shows their 2", 2.5" and 3.5" gauges:

I have checked four cheap dial and two digital gauges against a quality precision gauge and they were all dead on.. but have seen one very cheap digital gauge go inaccurate with extreme heat (air from tires on the track can exceed 200F). I don't think it makes a lot of difference most of the time.
