I think I paid maybe $3 for mine at autozone. It only reads in .5 lbs so 32.0, 32.5, 33.0, etc, but most of the cheaper digital gauges seem to read that way. The only problem with it is the little lcd screen is not back lit so using it at night requires a light.

Sears is selling a craftsman digital pressure gauge for $15 right now. It seems like a pretty nice one, you can bleed pressure while the gauge is still on the stem so you know exactly what your bleeding out. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-progr...ype=SKIP_LEVEL
