Compression Tester
What compression testers do you guys like the best? How much should a quality tester run cost-wise?

Re: Compression Tester
Not sure where you are located, but you can rent one from my local Advance Auto. Not sure if that's a nation wide thing.

Re: Compression Tester
if you do decide to buy I suggest one with a rubber quick connect fitting instead of a screw in fitting.

Re: Compression Tester
I think I can rent one from the parts house near me. I may go that route.

Re: Compression Tester
We have a Craftsman one that came with a big set of tools we bought off Craigslist. Used it a fair amount and it's held up fine.
