Accurate and repeatable digital pressure gauge?

Have you tried the Internet?
Research Tireminder. I have 2 and both are within 1/2 lb of each other. I've not tried to compare with a certified gauge
I use a husky digital for my tires. I compared it to my friends craftsman digital tire gauge and they were spot on with each other.
Longacre (53008) 0-60 PSI Digital Tire Gauge with Case

If I had the money, but how accurate do you need to be?

A lot of the cheapo digital gauges only have 0.5 PSI resolution which is just OK, but having 0.1 PSI resolution would be better IMO.
Here's on that reads 3 - 150 PSI with 0.1 PSI resolution and claiming +/-1% accuracy. Not too expensive.

Is digital much of an advantage, accuracy and repeatability-wise?
That DIYCO one has an almost wide enough range (to 150psi)to double as a compression tester.
This one goes to 200 psi

You'd need an adaptor though.

I have been using this one for a a couple of years and like it, I would buy it again.

Edit: That one Ducked linked to is interesting at that money.

Accutire MS-4021B is a good one for sure.
Since I have so many cars to do air pressure maintenance on, I bought an Astro 3018 digital tire inflator. Can be used only to check pressure, or can be used to check pressure, inflate, and deflate. It has significantly reduced tire pressure maintenance labor time for me. The Astro is the same as the Matco DT4B just different color rubber sleeve.

I have a 10 yr old Craftsman digital that I think is accurate but is it really? It also uses at least 2 button batteries.
I do not know where I could find a certified gauge.

I don't think the pencil style pressure gauge can be beat. I have been using one I purchased from NAPA fifty years ago and it reads within one pound of an Auto-Meter with a display PSI gauge. I recall Consumer Reports testing tire gauges decades ago and there choice was the pencil style. There are some cheapo pencil gauges on the market but one from NAPA should serve you for a lifetime. No need to overthink checking tire pressure.

Agreed!
I dont' see the need to complicate something so simple for something that requires batteries.
They've worked for decades with no problems.

If you have decent metal ones they steal them anyway, I gave up and run the cheap black plastic ones. I had a used car with green nitrogen filled ones (no i didn't fill them) and they stole them too in A supposedly secure Boston parking garage.
Absolute, maybe not so much... but relative for sure. I say within 1-2 psi for a passenger car is more than good enough. However if you dealing with TPMS you'll need more accuracy.
