The DA stirrup pumps are eaaily the best manual pumps, much better than footpumps:

Make a very accurate guage easily, here (adapt to your particular valves):

Exactly my problem!!!

I think i found the solution to this. While at a shop yesterday i saw the same connector but it had an adjustable screw in the center, this will push open then valve when attached so should give a pressure gauge reading while on and when removed the valve will close.

Quite obvious when you think about it!
