Tyre pressure gauge

Bought a new tyre pressure gauge at few months ago. Then in an antique shop I saw this smashing old Dunlop one and bought it for my son to ensure he keeps his car in good condition.

Tested it with a scientist chap I know and it turned out to be more accurate than my new one. :x

Then he said `Its better than the expensive digital one I bought '. So I felt better.

So if you want a good quality gauge for £4.00 go to an antique shop!.

Then I went back and I did the same with a claw hammer I needed, got a superb one for half the price of a new one. :D

Those old Dunlop stick gauges are superb I have several and I trust them more than a I would a digital one.
