Best tire pressure gauges

I'm sick of using four different gauges and getting four different readings. I just checked the air on 12 tires and sure would have liked to have a really nice, reliable, accurate tire pressure gauge. Nothing too fancy - just good.

Any recommendations?

I just bought two of these, one for me and one for my bro.

I have found that "race track" type tire gauges are the only ones worth even looking at. The cheapies always break or are inconsistent at best.
But it once, buy it right.

If I remember correctly, it's model number 50404.

I had the same dilemma a few months ago:

Per Adam's advice, I went with a race liquid filled guage. Been using it for a while now. Extremely reliable, accurate and sturdy. Highly recommended:

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
I always assumed that the issue was getting the same pressure for the tires on the same axle. Therefore if used the same gauge for both tires you were OK (yes it may be a pound or two high or low)
