Specs:
I have one that is very much like the accu-gage sold on the cartalk website. Amazon sells it too. I highly recommend it. It has a pressure release valve so you can drop to the correct pressure very quickly and accurately. I got the one that has a right angle adapter on the end because I use it on motorcycle tires too, and I don't think the straight one would fit easily into those wheels.
I use this Accu-Gage, which costs about $13. The flexible hose makes it very easy to use with spoked wheels. There's a valve that allows you to release a controlled amount of air without removing the gauge from the valve stem.
I broke my windshield.
I was filling the tires and I had this gauge: http://www.amazon.com/Accu-gage-Tire-Pressure-Guage-Straight/dp/B0006O2S0U/ by the gauge and the valve portion hanging free.
My portable air compressor was plugged into the center accessory jack but the power cord had got stuck on the hand brake.
So, I did what anyone would do: I whipped the power cord in a quick up-and-down motion like Indiana Jones to get it unstuck. I didn't think about that loose end of brass dangling like a nunchuck just ready to smash into my windshield in the very same hand.
It was the only time the young guy who came out to replace it said he saw damage from the inside.
