I'm rather fond of this thing from Advance Auto. think auto Zone sells a
similar one.

I have one in the car and another in the toolbox, and occasionally check
them against each other and they agree. And they were purchased a good
time part. Mom & riend both have the same one and they are all
consistent. That's not "accurate" or "calibrated" but a generally good
sign. It has a nice bleed-down button, you you an sihtly overfill the
tire, then bleed down to 1/2 psi or so.
TireRack.com sale a bunch of fancy digital ones, too.
