digital tyre gauges, or dielectric grease?

    The first question is prompted by lurking here - where to get a digital
    tyre gauge? Standard advice seems to be "Dick Smith", but their online
    catalog shows no such item. I assume it was dropped a few years ago.
    Google doesn't help for Aussie retailers, and my other obvious
    candidates don't show it either. Any other ideas?

    The second question relates to hints I got from the other bike lists,
    but rarely mentioned here. I'm looking for some "dielectric grease" -
    supposed to be excellent on electrical contacts as it prevents corosion,
    is non-conductive, but critically has very low sheer strength so is safe
    to use wherever electrical contact is necessary - ie, it should be
    smeared all over your connectors. Google it for more info. It appears
    3M make it (http://tinyurl.com/59f9q) and plenty of others do too, but
    I'm struggling to find local retailers for this.

    Any ideas, oh wise ones?

    SuperCheap Autos normally have one or two types of digital tyre pressure
    gauges for around the $14 mark.

    I was after some 'electrical contact grease', and the salesman at Autobarn
    convinced me that 'Automotive Lighting Bulb Grease' ($1.99) was the same,
    and it seemed to do the job.

    I was in DSE's Fyshwick shop a few weeks ago, and saw three different
    digital tyre gauges, two Accutire(sic) and something else. Couldn't make
    up my mind, walked out with a TV antenna.
