Question Is This Tire Pressure Guage Fine

I just need to use it when I fill up air at my gas station (it's free but no guage). You guys think it's accurate enough and won't break? It says accurate plus or minus 1 psi in the specifications but idk if I can trust that

I own one. It's ok but wished I had sprung for a better one.
If you get a mis-read you'll have to push the button again. Same thing to turn it on.
It's also pretty small and cheapy feeling. But for the price it's decent.

Just go to your local auto parts store and buy one. They are like 5 bucks

I bought a 105$ water guage for my race motorcycle from a reputable shop. Then I bought a 6$ digital guage from Walmart the same day. For three years I compared the two at the race track, and they were both always the same, down to the 10th. 23.5lbs is want I ran my race tires at on the rear of the bike and both gauges were always spot on together.

I'm not saying any gauge is perfect, just saying that if you've got a friend with an expensive gauge, compare em, you may be surprised. I was.
