Tire Pressure Gauge Recommendations??

I need a new tire pressure gauge, that can read low pressures, ideally fairly accurate reading down to 5, the minimum recommended pressure for the new air bags I installed on my TV over the weekend. The bags were fairly easy job to install, but decide none of my pressure gauges are good down for the low pressure task of 5 psi.

I did a little online searching, but have not found anything I liked (yet). Started to think about making my own gauge using an air chuck and a 0 to 25 psi analog gauge. The air bags are rated for pressure between 5 and 100 psi, I expect I will keep them inflated between 5 and 15 psi.

Any recommendations?

A few years ago I went on a search for a reliable, accurate gauge that wouldn't break the bank. I ended up with a Longacre gauge. I've been very happy with it.

Longacre 50417

I use this one and have found it to be very accurate for my needs including my airbags...

How much do you want to spend? If the answer is 'a lot and I never want to buy another gauge again' I'd recommend one of these. Been using them for years at work with no issues, they're pretty standard equipment in any corporate aviation hangar.

If you have a place near, that sells ATVs, or golf carts, they use low pressure tires, and a decent size place might have what you are looking for. A pencil style came up when I googled low press. tire gauge.

I bought a Victor 0-100 psi dial guage with about a 10-12" lead hose about 5-6 yrs ago from I believe Advanced Auto (yeah i know, not the best place) and have absolutely love it. Very accurate and easy to see/read, I had a nice digital one for a while I could verify it with but I finally broke that one.
