What type of vehicles do you plan on using it on?

The craftsman one has saved my **** and much $, many a times. It is actually made by Mittivac IIRC.

I have a Mac off of eBay, bought it to replace the one I bought from Canadian Tire back in 1982

I am a fan of OTC tools, looking at picking up their leakdown tester soon

I bought one from a parts store, it works and didn't cost much. I have a premium set too,,, if I was using it daily would be different than occasionally, I actually use the simple cheap one.

I used one in a VW dealership in 1964. I'd stick a long screwdriver in the ignition key to keep it cranking and do all 4 cylinders one after the other. It was a great way to sell valve jobs because you could show the card to the customer.

What is wrong with Snap On? Sometimes it pays to buy a higher quality tool....and this is one of them. My Snappy compression tester is 45+ years old and still accurate. How good will your advance be after even 15-20 years?
