Anyone know of a small tire gauge that can be attached to a key chain?

I have a half sized one from wallymart that I keep in the under seat tray.

But anyway, I hope that you do not intend to keep it on your ignition key ring - you'll ding up that triple tree something terrible. Even just another key will do damage...

I have a 5HP air compressor that could TECHNICALLY be attached to a key chain but it would be very cumbersome to carry and would not fit in your pocket.

I use a slightly bulkier one that fits under the rear seat and has a bleeder button on it so I can overfill a tire a hair and bleed down to the proper pressure.

Be careful guys, some of these keychain tire pressure gages are pretty cheap and inaccurate.

I dont know what pressure your runnin in tires but I have these tire pressure indicator caps on my tires that show green when the pressure is 34psi or above. Got them from Radio Shack. Still check my tire pressure periodically but they offer me reassurance that I am right were I should be.

I liked the idea of the pressure caps, till I read the small print stating an accuracy of up to 12-15% variance.

Walmart has a foot pump with gauge for about $7 out the door. Works very well for quick checks & pumps ride prior. Gauge agrees with hand guage (i.e. accurate as far as I can tell).
