Dial-types are more accurate.

Dial type is more accurate, since the pen type is just a slider inside the pen case while the dial has a fluid make readings more consistent.

Plus, the dial types with the release valves are useful for properly checking and changing tire pressures. Just add extra air and when it's cold, measure pressures and release air as necessary, even with the gauge in.

What brand of dial type gauge can you guys recommend? I'm currently using one marked "Stetho-gauge" or something like that (it's about a year old already and still doing well). It's metal and it comes with a lockable plastic case.
