Dial type vs. Pen type tire gauge

What brand of dial type gauge can you guys recommend? I'm currently using one marked "Stetho-gauge" or something like that (it's about a year old already and still doing well). It's metal and it comes with a lockable plastic case.

Kung pang personal lang na gamit mo, pen type na lang. Tama sila, bili ka lang ng medyo mahal US or Japan made. Yung Japan made ko, ang tagal ko nang ginagamit, nakailang palit na ako ng sasakyan, ayos pa rin. Mas accurate pa nga kaysa sa mga gasolinahan. Pressure gauges sa mga gasolinahan, palagi sira. Ingatan mo lang. Wag mong ihahalo sa mga ibang tools.

Ngayon kung marami kang sasakyan, maganda yung dial type, depende rin sa brand. Ingatan mo rin para tumagal.

Be practical!

I'm using the pen type. I also check my tire pressure at the nearest gas station from my house every time I pump in gas.

I too use the stetho-gauge dial-type which i bought at ACE hardware years back and it's still reliable. you can't adjust or calibrate it but make sure you release the air in it after each use. there's an air release button on the side. i think it costs P500+.
