radiator system tester

[PoorOwner]

I am thinking to buy a test kit to pressurize my system hopefully to find this tiny coolant drip. This is for a mitsubishi but I know nissan is the same.

They range from $70 stant to some other brand $300 with all the adapters
I don't want to spend too much
I am thinking of getting the KD tools around $110
since I have old cars maybe it will be ok to keep in the long run....

any other advices?

found the KD on amazon for $90 shipped (I love Amazon and their low KD prices)
one review on there wasn't stellar so let's see if someone here has one.

Your local Autozone should have one to borrow at no cost through their loan-a-tool program. Some other parts stores have the same sort of tool loan service as well. I am not trying to talk you out of buying one.-Just something to consider.

whether you buy one or borrow one, be careful not to over-pressurize the system.

Despite having a number of vehicles, I find the use of the tester so infrequent that I just use the Autozone loan-a-tool program mentioned as well.
