What brand is this compression tester?

I picked up this compression tester at the flea market with some other stuff for 10 bucks. Didn't know what brand it was but it does say made in usa. Anybody know?

Looks like an Actron model without the hose to me. rebadged as craftsman and others.

My Sears compression tester is identical to that one.

Yeah, those are the typical import compression testers you see sold under numerous brands. I have one. It works well.

You do realize that the older ones (not sure on the newer ones), including the one pictured were USA-made? In fact, look at the 6 o'clock position on the gauge to see it's COO.

I always assumed mine was an import as it doesn't state any COO on it. Who knows?...

I guess the OP got one of the good ones.

In seven years since this was posted the COO may have changed.

Your are right. I still have 2020 stuck in my head.

FWIW - I've had my tester for at least 15 years.
