Guys, help me with my options here. Most of my work is on cummins B series and kubota, So I don't think I would need a set. I'm going to have to buy the cummins injector fitting and a glow plug fitting for the kubota. What's the best way to go about it?

Thanks

I have the Star Industries kit TU-15-53. Has a good mix of fittings, but I've only used the 6.9/7.3 IDI and Cummins fittings. Damn good kit though, and worth the price tag. Rebadged and sold under Matco and Lang.

If you're only dealing with B-Series Cummins & Kubota, you'd do fine with just the TU-15 Gauge, TU-15-17 and TU-15-35 adapters.

Dude, you're awesome! Thank you for that. I really appreciate the links. Going to pull the trigger on the gauge and adapters :thumbup:

Glad to help! You'll be happy with that setup.

Do you know the COO on that set? It looks like a nice kit:beer:
IIRC it's made in the USA, but I think the rubber hose of the compression tester was imported. I can check today at work if I remember. I'll also see if I still have a package for replacement heavy duty valve stems, since they can fail over some uses, and I found a good deal on them through Newegg.

A good bit cheaper than the lang on amazon. I'm assuming other star compression adapters fit just fine.

Whole set is USA made. Looked over the hoses and nothing different marked on them, I must've been thinking of some different tool set.

And here's replacement valve cores that work great with the adapters.
