My tyre gauge is kaput!  Anyone recommend a good one to replace it with?

About ten years ago, one of the big motor magazines carried out a test on about fifteen different types of tyre gauges.  They put them through a lot of tests with one of them involving dropping them ten times onto concrete from a height of one metre.  Only two passed every test.  One was a Lumen for about $24.  The other sold for a similar price and had a name starting with S but that is all can remember.  I bought a Lumen and could not find the other in the shops.

I am still using it and have looked after it very carefully.  I often check it against those pre set tyre inflating machines at service stations.  It has always matched them exactly each time.

The other one was a "Stetho" apparently though I haven't heard of it previously.
