Looking for a decent compression tester.

[zippster]

I need to buy a compression tester kit for my cars and it would be a bonus if I could test motorcycles and other small engines. Any recommendations?

I had the HF kit. It lasted about three years, doesn't work anymore. Would be willing to pay a little extra for something quality.

OTC has one on Amazon. Not sure if it comes with the small engine adapter for ATV and MC

coworker was telling me about how a friend of his bought the HF compression tester, brand new it read wrong and he rebuilt his snowmobile motor for nothing

My Snap On compression tester is pushing 50 years old and is still accurate and good to use. It pays to buy good test equipment.

If I had to do it again I would go for a cylinder leakage tester, barely use my compression tester anymore

I have thought about that.
