Digital Tyre Gauge

I need a new tyre pressure gauge. I've just broken my Apico 0-15 psi one by putting it on a new tyre that had been left at very high pressure. As I don't have a separate gauge for my cars, I am thinking of getting a digital gauge that would do both. I'm proposing digital because it will still be readable at normal trials pressures, but does it actually read accurately down at 2.5 psi? Any opinions? Any recommendations?

My experience has been that digital pressure gauges that read to 100 psi or so are very inaccurate at trials pressures.  Maybe you can find one that claims to be accurate, but I doubt it will be as cost effective as buying another Apico.  On the plus side, you probably won't make the same mistake again.

OEM HONDA TIRE LOW PRESSURE GAUGE part # 89301-HA0-772. 👍👍 

doesn't need to read accurate as long as it reads consistent.

The nice thing about lemur's suggested gauge is that I expect it would be very tolerant of over-pressure. 

True, but it's a plastic pencil-type gauge for prices ranging from £20-£60 online. I could buy a metal one for £6. Anyway, I've got another Apico on order and I'll be sure to check first with the gauge on my compressor if I have any doubts whether a tyre is over 15psi..
