Recommend a tire gauge with bleeder valve
I am looking for recommendations on a tire gauge that has a bleeder valve for easily adjusting (removing) air from tires. I would like a gauge that accurately reads the tire pressure while removing the air. Or at least checks it immediately after removing some air.
I have seen some gauges for over $50 and not sure I really need to spend that much.
Something like this but looking for any first hand experiences with gauges that you like.

Welcome to the world of tire-gauge obsessions. Some of the choices you will be looking at involve:
- digital vs. analog
- air vs. liquid filled
- temperature compensation and venting
- do I really care about all these variables?
Some data points:

For what it's worth, I have a Longacre gauge that I bought many many years ago. I don't even remember the model number, but it's one of their Magnum glow-in-the-dark (surprisingly useful) models, and it's still working great:

Air gauges vary in price based on-
diameter of the dial face
Length of hose
Quality of materials
Ability to tolerate abuse/dropping
etc
You get what you pay for but under $40 is OK for something basic to get you started. In any case you want to be careful not to drop your gauge or run it over with your car in the grid or pit area.
