    Default Slick rock air gauges

    Does anyone know what happened with this company. http://www.4x4now.com/4wstlsag.htm. They made Slick Rock air gauges. I believe they were in Utah.. Many years ago I purchased an awesome heavy duty air gauge from them. The gauge was several feet long. I could air up or air down while standing. Came in a denier case. Don't want to buy another gauge made in China.

    The phone number is no longer. I wish I could purchase another one. I checked ebay with no luck. .Suggesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I know you say you don't want something made in China, but sometimes...

    Just put a longer hose on it with a clip on chuck. If you find the gauge isn't accurate enough for you replace it with a higher quality one.
    Add a quick connect to the supply side and you can use it for airing down or airing up.

    If you want to spend more, there's this one: http://completeoffroad.com/i-5818786...-arb605us.html but I wouldn't be surprised if it's made in China as well. Even the one sold by Grainger for $65 is.

    I really like the gauge/inflator that came with my Powertank CO2 tank; can't guarantee where it's made though: http://powertank.com/products/sfID1/14/productID/31

    I recently purchased a Milton tire inflator with gauge. The old standby like the garages used to use . . . before everyone started to steal them.

    Yeah, I was going to suggest that, but figured if a Chinese dial gauge wasn't accurate enough the little piston gauge wouldn't be either, and milton doesn't make one, that I'm aware of, with a dial gauge.

    That is what I was about to recommend. I love mine. I'd have to check on the country of manufacture though.

    I get my American made gauges from. http://getagauge.com/USAInfo.cfm# i use the 0-15 psi gauge for airing way down and for the dirt bikes. It's nice to be able to adjust in 1/4lb increments. Sometimes I accidentally use it on high pressure TuBliss inserts that are 100 psi and it throws the calibration way off. I pop out 2 screws and bend the gauges bourdon tube back into shape to recalibrate it. Very tuff gauges from this place. They may have or can make what you need and the price is right.

    Yeah, for just a plain tire gauge I've been using Meiser for about 30 years. I like them. My first I got at Trak Auto near DC. Probably paid $2 for it on sale.

    Hmm...never seen this one before: http://getagauge.com/Tire-Gauges/Accu-Gage-EZ-Air.cfm
    I think I'll pick one up.
