Scott,

See <http://www.dualdynamics.com/dualcrossfire.html> where the device
is pictured and described. It has a pressure gauge built in and
displays a black 'flag' for under inflation and a red 'flag' for over
inflation (plus or minus 20%). It appears to have a valve stem built
into the pressure gauge to inflate the tires in unison.

Note that it comes in various pressure ratings, so it would require
you to select a 'normal' pressure for your vehicle and buy the
appropriate unit. With the plus or minus 20%, a tire set for 100#
will show as "full" from 80# to 120#... of course, this range is
probably required to compensate for heating (and heat-induced
pressure increase) while on the road.
