air pressure gauge


with the recent enlightenment as to the effects of "hot beating sun+big fat black tires" it looks like I need a "dependable" tire pressure gauge.
what do you guys use digital or anolog?
the two analog gauges (pen type and the gauge on small hand pump) i have don't really register below 10 lbs. i'll try and find the 2 inch dial gauge i know i have somewhere ;)
i'm guessing i'll have to pony up for a digital. just wondering about accuracy at the lower pressure's since i more concerned with (5 lbs up to 11 lbs) low pressure with the BFs and cadkats.
thnx,
Paul

I have a relatively cheap digital gauge that I picked up from napa for about 8 bucks. Its been working great for the buggy and bikes. I have been putting between 8-25 psi into the tires and it the gauge seems to agree with the pump's gage. I stay away from the analog stick gauges as I've had a lot of problems with accuracy. Amazon show a bunch of digital gauges for under 20
