I would be interested in on these actuators to check calibration. The only issue is once you discover an inaccuracy, does your pump have the ability to be calibrated (post assembly).

I like the analog accu-gages that are range specific. I use the 0-30psi version for MTB, gravel and Cyclocross. It is very repeatable and doesnāt leak any air when using. They are VERY drop sensitive though so i have also purchased several - luckily they are cheap.

Came here to say the same. Iāve used these gauges for years and been happy with them. They are affordable, well built and pretty dang accurate. But yes, drop one and you might as well buy a new gauge.
Another vote for the Milton Accu-Gage. A few additional notes, 1) buy them from the Milton website, there are knock-off and overpriced ones on Amazon. 2) In addition to the drop sensitivity, if you put them on a tire over the limit of the gauge (they have 0-15, 30, 60 (and maybe 120?)), then thatāll also ruin them (or theyāve ruined mine). So give yourself some room on the upper end of the intended pressure use, and as mentioned, buy a couple when you get them, they are cheap. Extra bonus, no need to worry about the battery dying!

When this happens with a bourdon tube pressure gauge it is usually because the pinion has jumped a cog or two on the rack. With care and delicacy you can reset the pinion (if you can get into the gubbins of the gauge). I work with a lot of industrial gauges and they can usually be fixed.
This is a good point and Iāve ācorrectedā one once before, but it seemed a little tainted after that. I decided I didnāt trust it. Do you have a suggestion on how to reset one? Do you just move it to the zero mark and put it back together?
What happened to Silcaās Truth gauge? I got one a few years ago & have been happy with it, especially the ability to bleed some pressure without removing the gauge from the valve stem.

Out of production. I am still looking to buy a used one but in the meantime putting together something similar on my own. Dwyer gauge with bleed valve and air chuck.
Oh, I am looking rn for a gauge exactly like these ones. Does anyone has a recommendation for EU market?
@jakub I like the Topeak Shuttle Digital Gauge, it is secured by a lock lever, it can be used together with a floor pump. One can buy spare rubber kits.

@Simon2 I somehow dislike battery-eating gauges. Also, can I mount clik adapter to Topeak?
I bought it 6 months ago, still the same CR2032, so itās not so bad, plus the battery cells are much cheaper when bought in a big package 
It has a Schrader valve on the back, I threaded the Lezyne Schrader adapter on onto it. Clik adapter = Schwalbe clik valve? Idk if itās compatible with this.

@Simon2 Should be okay since there is a threaded schrader option. 
The threaded Schrader valve is an input only.
Well yea, but if I understood correctly, thatās what I am looking for. Just adding clik adapter to be able to measure clik-equipped tires.
To attach the Clik pump head adapter to the Topeak Shuttle Gauge Digital, change the gauge to Schrader mode by switching the red valve adapter so that its pointy end is pointing away from the gauge, and flipping the rubber gasket such that its wider opening is away from the gauge. Even though the Clik pump head adapter does not thread onto the gauge, when the thumb lock lever is engaged, the Clik pump head adapter does not come off the gauge.

Very cool, but probably still too digital-y for me.
Iāve always been happy with an SKS Air Checker, but lost mine. Just received anl new one, version 2.0,
and noticed on the package that it is Clik valve compatible.

Have you tried it, Andy? I just read this review and it left me confusedā¦
āIt is good enough for presta and Schrader valve too. I bought it for clik valve based on description, but itās less good for that. I like the click valve because itās easy to connect. This is not easy. You have to push a rubber sleeve on it. Itās even less good in the cold. Itās a disappointment to meā
I donāt have any Clik valves, so no I havenāt, I just needed a replacement for the one I had lost, without realising I was getting the version 2.0
