#677 of 777 Tire gauges by Stever@Edmunds HOST

I'm jonsing for an LCD one since I can barely read my old faithful Raleigh gauge any more without a magnifying glass. Not close to a Sears though and shipping kills it.
 
Craftsman Programmable Digital Tire Gauge - $12.99 ($7 off). There's another one for $10 ($5 off) but the screen looks bigger on the programmable one.

Great timing - we have almost no stores near us, but the one we do have is a Sears (appliances & tools only). I'm on the hunt for stocking stuffers, and this one will be a winner for my S.O.

Tempting but I like my round analog dial, plus mine lets you bleed excess pressure.
 
Or you can always buy an Altima.

I have a cheap one of those and it's on a hose. Can't hold it on the tire and bleed it so I gave up on it. Don't trust the accuracy either.
 
One of my Subaru tires was down 8 pounds between monthly checks. I'm sure it's those good ol' alloy wheels; seems like they are famous for slow leaks.

I just bought one of those $10 models to replace the one I dropped (LCD stopped working).
It will be my 3rd one.
Stopped by Sears on Saturday to get one.
It wasn't on sale *$15) and there was a long line, so I left.
The guy in front of me in line had 6 of them, stocking stuffers i guess.

Not sure it counts as a "bargain," but my Mr. will also be getting this:

I cannot explain why he wants it - we have no crowding or parking issues in the garage - but he saw it in the latest Family Handyman magazine, and thought it was nifty. He's just a fan of tidy, and I guess parking in the exact same spot every day is tidy.

A tennis ball hanging from a string from the ceiling will do the same thing.
 
But it's not nearly as fancy as that laser guided parking assurance device!!

Yes, but everyone knows those are for OLD people! Plus, when you have man-guests, who always get a tour of the garage/shop/toys/tools, it really isn't very impressive to show them your high-tech tennis ball device. It's been done to death.
