This is a timely review as I have been driven nuts with malfunctioning tire gauges as of late.
Originally I bought Milton's for around $20 and they had a good reputation and lasted. Eventually mine went out after years of service and I could not find a local replacement. So I tried a "heavy duty" truck gauge by Victor for about $15 and have had nothing but trouble.

I've returned it three times for new ones, yet they all last about a month before losing pressure through the bleeder valve. So the last trip I just got my money back and decided to search for another Milton. However since you have had good luck with this brand, I will give one a try.
