I need a new compression tester. What do you have?
I have looked at Snap-On but found that they cost the most out of the ones that I have looked at. Matco seemed to be priced fair, but I have never owned Matco.

Looking for recomendations, likes and dislikes!
My last tester was from Fleet Farm and is no longer accurate, I want something that I can trust.

Thanks!

I use both a snap-off brand testor and a hardware store tester. Both read within a few lbs. of each other. Advantage hardware model... cheap. advantage snap-off... comes with a coupler about 10" from the part that screws in to the head, really nice for the rev type chassis where it is limited space. The hardware model is the "loaner"

It's all about the gauge...head.

As long as it fits everything you own, then it is good...and as stated a couple of them isn't a bad thing.

This is what I have...seems to be a decent product. Find it on Lie-bay!
