Tire gauges?

Does anybody have an idea where a reasonably priced tire pressure gauge can be found? All I am seeking is a conventional analog 60 psi gauge, which doesn't seem that complex until you actually WANT one.

Web searches and searches of the popular sites (Jegs. Summit, Tire Rack, BSR, Racerwholesale, etc.) have proved fruitless.

What am I missing here?

TIA -
 
I have 3 60 lb gauges

a $35 "racer" gauge (longacre I think)
a $15 Brookstone
and a $7 digital from Radio Shack

All three read exactly the same to the 1/2 pound (the resolution on the digital).
The Longacre is a bit more sensitive as you set to 1/4 pound with it. Although my butt isn't sensitive enough to detect a 1/4 pound difference (or 1/2 pound for that matter).

I like the digital as it's easier for my old eyes to read. But it's harder to set pressures since it has no bleed down.

Take a look at Longacre's website. We are using their 2-1/2" rubber covered glow model. Has taken very good care of the race car, truck and trailer tires. It is still quite accurate and costs ~$30 plus shipping from them.

I second the vote for the Longacre, very good (and glow-in-the-dark is cool!). My el-cheapo RPW one died within a year...

Thanks for the answers, all. I ended up getting two from a friend/sponsor at CV Products - a small one for the car, and a 100 lb. digital for the van (which is the reason I needed a new gauge in the first place, as I carefully blew up the old reliable guage when I went to check the pressure on the van without thinking first!)
