Pump guage vs. Digital gauge
I just bought a Lambert digital pressure gauge. I also have a Blackburn Air Tower floor pump. When I pump my tires to 120psi the hand gauge shows that the pressure is actually lower, sometime more than 10psi lower. I think the hand gauge is more accurate, what gives?

hand gauge is probably more accurate.. I've often wondered how well the pump's gauge actually did its job.

Hand guages are more accurate.Get to know the differential.Pumps with guages are good,you can over pump just enough,when you check the pressure with a sep. guage,you lose air anyway so....
