Simple thing... Best tire gauge?
A simple question, what kind of tire gauge is best for airing down & up? I havent had a "good" one in a while so thought I'd shop around for one that I hope will last a really long time.
What do you use, and what would you recommend (brand/model would be very helpful)?
Thanks!

I'm really happy with ARB's quick deflate tire gauge. roughly $40. Fast and very accurate.

The ARB air down tool is about the standard, basically you can find that exact one with Currie's logo, or any off road shop that wants to put their name on the back of the dial gauge. Good piece of equipment 
However, for airing up I use this (click link below) you can get it in digital or analog. I prefer the analog version like this one, but the digital is suppose to be more accurate. I don't have a power tank, but I do use it with my Warn PowerPlant winch for airing backing up (and bleeding out little amounts of air when I overfill) It locks on to the valve stem, so all you have to do is press the inflate button. The hose is long enough for you to stand upright while airing up. Worth every penny, however I don't remember paying nearly as much as it is now listed for.
