I have no idea what brand it might be, but my favourite is an analog guage about 2 inches in diameter with a rubber hose about a foot long. Easy to use no matter where the valve is on the wheel and big enough for an old buy like me to see even if the light is poor. I had a similar one but withou

My favorite for a combination fill valve and pressure gauge, is sold at Harbor Freight on sale for a bit over $5. It has the stick type indicator which ranges from 10 PSI to 130 PSI. I've tested it against my digital pressure gage and found all 6 I own to be within 1/2 PSI, which is "close enough".
