Recommend a Radiator Pressure Tester

[articsilber323]

Hi everyone

I am looking for a radiator pressure tester kit that would have most of the adapters for radiators, I am not really concerned in testing radiator caps.


I do not need one that includes a vacuum fill tool as i already have a airlift unit.


thanks

My hands down favorite, have pressure in the system and the leak diagnosed before the guy in the next bay is finished pumping up his hand-op tester.

Stant, or redline. Common rebrands are oem of them.
The hf one isn't to bad though, just don't know about it's longevity.

The hf one has almost all the adapters I need. But I've never seen an adapter for the big radiators I deal with sometimes.

It's been bouncing around on my truck for 2 years without a failure and I use it twice a week or more.

does it have the adapter for surge tanks on vw and 6.0l power stroke?


i believe i saw a video on the hf one it uses two pieces a clamp and the ones in the lid for some of the caps

I know I'm late to reply but I know it has the one for a 6.0 I use it all the time to check head gaskets.
