I think I've got one of those, or at least it looks very similar, but
it's Schraeder only. Do they make this type of gauge in Presta, or do
y'all have to use an adaptor?

They make both versions, but not a combo:

I wonder if you can turn one into the other by replacing the gasket
etc? I have the presta one.

Yes, they make both, I have a Presta.  I got it because the gauge on my old Performance pump was going bad, and I wanted some accuracy, having been educated about lower tire pressure by everyone here.  The gauge works, but it's a bit finicky to get seated on the valve, and often all you do is let air out, without getting  a good reading.  Also a hassle to check, attach chuck, pump, repeat (not the gauge's fault, or course).  I basically gave that up and got a new pump with a nice gauge mounted high where I can read it.

Excellent; and they make them with a right-angled chuck. Just ordered
one from Amazon.
