Tyre pressure Gauge
Might sound like a bit of a funny question, but I am looking to buy a really good quality tyre pressure gauge and wonder if any of you know where this can be sourced.

99% of all the gauges which are available from retailers are absolute crap. Ranging from about R49.00 up to about R150.00 they are all made in China, bubble wrapped, garbage. I have tried the "pencil" type one that pushes out an inner barrel, the small dial ones (they are the worst) and I am dubious about the looks of some of the digital ones which are on the shelves.

I kind of like the idea of the ones which have a short flexible pipe that connects to the valve leading to a large looking dial, but I have no idea where to get these.

Why do I want one? I have four cars (mine, wife, son and daughter) and I like to keep track of the tyre pressure so as to avoid expensive replacements due to under inflation. The pressure gauges on the hose lines at the garages are notoriously inaccurate and in many cases impossible to read.
