Default Decent footpump with reliable pressure gauge?

Since my old footpump fell to pieces, I've been using the air line at
the local petrol station. But when it's out of action (or for
wheelbarrow / sack barrow tyres), it would be useful to have a new
footpump at home.

I've looked at Screwfix / Halfrauds / Argos and even the more
expensive Michelin-branded ones seem to have mixed reviews.

I saw a cheap, halfway decent looking one last week at Aldi ---
reasonably constructed but the gauge was graduated in 15 psi intervals
which I guess makes it accurate to the nearest 7 psi and not much use
for a typical 30 psi tyre.

Is there such a thing as a reasonably constructed footpump with
accurate pressure gauge or is it a case of using the air line at the
garage?
