Yeah just go buy a decent one from any auto store not the cheapest and not the dearest will be fine, a heads up through one with a flexi hose bit is handy.

I've been told by someone old and wise that these are very accurate, so long as the needle comes to rest within the white box. One it no longer rests in the box you basically throw them out, the ones with needle stoppers tend to be less accurate over time as you don't know how far past 0 the needle is actually resting.

So I'd prefer the analogue one shown here over digital ones...
Also no chance of surprises when you go to use it and you find out the battery is dead

Continental tyres make a good digital guage to a tenth of a psi.
Accurate too. ;)
