[Shop-talk] Tire Gauges

[Benjamin Zwissler]

I calibrate my Milton (which has consistently read high) to my wife's tpms
value.   Partly because I assume the car is right and partly because I
don't like it when she's telling me a week later that she's getting low
pressure lights again.

I don't know how to create an inexpensive standard for calibration.   The
Milton is the most expensive gauge I have and has been the least accurate.
I looked it up on line and found lots of similar complaints about its
inaccuracy.

Any ideas on creating a low cost pressure standard for calibration?
