I have some of the adapters, bought like a 5 pack of them with one of my China orders for like a dollar. I hadn't thought about trying these with a regular gauge but expect it would work out great for me. I guess you loosen the Presta's screw lock before screwing the Schrader adapter on and then just press the regular gauge down on the adapter losing a minimal amount of air.
Thanks for the information.
