Recommended tyre pressure gauge

As per title, what does everyone use?
Just checked my son's car tyre pressures with my trusted Draper gauge
It was recommended on another forum ages ago by some of the track day guys. I think it may now be faulty and time for a new one
(https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Draper-Tyre- ... :rk:3:pf:0)

It read 18 psi which seemed really low.

Checked with a digital gauge - 25.6psi
Checked with 3 different manual pump gauges and they all read around the 21-23psi range, so went with that

I'm concerned now that the Zed pressures may be too high
I didn't expect such a wide range
I also once read that garage 'air stations' are notoriously wrong, so not sure what to use as my 'standard'

Grateful for any advice
