For 5psi, I am hoping for 10-20% or so accuracy, it is not rocket science putting air in an RO tank bladder. For my car, I would like a fairly accurate gauge, hopefully to a 1 PSI or better. For my bike, the difference between 85 and 90 PSI is not a big deal. I just don't want a reading of 90 PSI to really be 70 PSI. Again, not rocket science. If there are not gauges that are this good in an single product then I guess I am out of luck.
Just because you can READ a digital meter accurately, doesn't mean what you read is accurate.
The DISPLAY has a % of accuracy +/- 1 digit PLUS the error of the measuring circuitry.
