Did Snap on stop making dial type tire pressure gauges?

At least in the 0-100 psi range?

I bought one last year for my dump trailer which needs 80 psi. I have a few other gauges that go to 60 psi. Everything was great, until.......

I backed over the darned thing with my Dodge Ram 3500. I'm surprised it looks as good as it does, considering.

The flexible hose is fine. So I thought I could just buy the gauge itself and replace the fixed protuberance with the flexible one. But now I see that neither the US nor Canadian Snap On site lists the 0-100 psi gauge. I called a local Snap On dealer and he has none in stock.

Did Snap On stop making/importing these? Permanently? Temporarily? Now what do I do?

If you want something the same quality, or maybe better, take a look at what www.powertank.com has to offer.

I use these in my 4x4s, and they take a lot of abuse. They have stuff specifically for RVs and semis that go to higher PSI ratings as well.

I've always been pleased with my Longacre gauges.

They appear to be more accurate than my powertank stuff. I do love the rest of my powertank CO2 system though

I have a Blue-Point like the one in the first post. It's an excellent tire gauge. I got mine back in 1995. It's a shame they don't have them no more.

Thanks for the advice gents. Much appreciated.

Here's the replacement. Sure looks like it's made by the same manufacturer. Despite saying USA on the dial, it's made in China. But the quality seems quite good and price is great: $21.50 USD shipped to Canada. I bought it from OverRev's link above. Thanks for the tip!
