I did read online saying the 'stick' type of hand held gauge are not reliable and should go for the dial type. But I have so far nothing much to complain about the 'stick' type PCL that I been using for years.

One pump actually deflated my tyres so you can imagine how well they are maintained.

Whether dial type or stick type of gauge depends on the brand also and whether their calibration is correct.
I had a dial type before and at the end there was a screw sort of dial for you to tune the pressure.
I went and match it against my friend's tyre shop Michelin one.....
You kept the pump thing on even though it was releasing air??

Of course not, I drove to a different pump, with a slightly deflated tyres.

ha! ha! yaloh, some station pumps are that bad. The Esso in Shah Alam, Digital one not working, the dial one really out.
I tried once, dial 34psi, but found it bumpy. Check with gauge shows 40+ psi......

But for my tyre size of 215/45/R17, using the bicycle takes too long.....tried before....ha! ha!
Yup, that is one way to verify and compare your gauge accuracy and then add accordingly if the gauge cannot be adjusted.
Yes, for outstation add 2psi more.....

I bought this bicycle pump with a cylinder at the base of the pump (don't know what is the name). The cylinder gets pressurize as I pumped. Generally between 6 to 12 pumps, depend on the tire size, equal 1psi. It is not so bad have been doing that for many years beats going to petrol station and the pump is out of order.

But recently my dad moved the air compressor to a inconvenient place, so I started to use petrol station air pumps again. Usually pump 36PSI, go home, cold night release to correct pressure.
