I recently purchased this digital tire gauge to replace my old Accu-Gauge round faced, push and hold analog tire gauge. The Accutire MS-4000GB is a great, easy to read digital gauge. You press and hold the gauge on the tire valve and it "stores" a nice, easy to read, backlit digital readout of your pressure for 10 seconds. With 0.5 lb. increments, it's easy to fill all 4 tires to the exact pressure. Highly recommended, it comes with lithium long life cells and a nice case. Great stocking stuffer, priced from $18 (ebay) to around $25 (Amazon). Now after I clean and apply 303 to my tires, I can check the pressure.:up

FLONI,
Accutire has 2 other digital gauges but they don't have the backlit feature. In my dark garage area, I need all the light I can get, except the fluorescent lights that show the scratches in my clearcoat.
The "Reflex" is just the color for the VW Passat. Instead of just calling it Silver, it's Reflex Silver since they have a few variations on "silver" colors. The ".5" indicates a model year change, the 2001.5 was an early 2002 release, it's a VW thing.

i love it...especially the 1/10th readings like SRL was saying....way cool toy:up
Interesting - I bought the Park Zone - didn't even realize it was made by the same company. It works like a charm as well - I bring my car within 4 inches of the wall every time, without so much as a bump. Well worth the $14.99 I paid for it.
The tire gauge is a score as well - if it had a bleeder valve, it would be unbeatable. I wonder if there's any way to add a bleeder valve to a tire stem.

Yup, they're all made by Measurement Specialties Inc.

You'll also notice that a lot of other branded digital tire gauges (like the ones from Radio Shack) are just rebranded AccuTires.
By the way, JohnN, where did you get the ParkZone for $14.99? I've been meaning to pick up a couple of these.
