Matco compression test equipment

[Lightning]

Are the Matco compression testers reliable and accurate? They have the compression kit I need that Snap On lacks.

I find it hard to believe that Matco has something that Snap on doesn't have. however, which set? I'm sure it's a rebadged item.

Find who the OEM is and you could probably save yourself some dough! Post a pic, part # or link to Matcos website and you should get some better responses!

A company called "star" makes the kit for matco if I remember right and it is a USA product.

Here is a set by Actron and maybe the same OEM version; it looks very similar (even has same vinyl case!) and is cheaper at $39.99 :http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00999472000P

The large Craftsman isn't too bad either at $59.00: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/search_10153_12605?

Here is a listing of "Star" products line of tools: http://www.shopperschoice.com/index.html?term=manu:"Star Products"&action=search

Again, maybe worth the extra money if Macto comes to your shop for warranty and service issues.

I have the Sears set ... works well and the storage case is a plus ...
