Really solid compression tester from GearWrench. Everything from the brass fittings to the 12” hose to the gauge itself appears solid and well made. Comes with two black oxide adapters for 14mm and 18mm spark plugs. Both adapters were made in the USA! Can buy other adapters (sold separately). The gauge itself is Taiwan. Gauge goes up to 300 psi (includes kPa markings as well) and has nice clear markings. Has an air hold valve to reset gauge. Of course it works flawlessly like most GearWrench automotive products.

This is a tool for everyone who has gas/oil combustion tools like blowers and string trimmers. It is the first and best way to see if your compression, the result of the cylinders firing, is up to spec when you cannot get the motor to run for any length of time.
The process is simple: first find the compression specification from the owners manual, second attach the tester, third pull the cord several times after first clearing the tester.

This GearWrench Compression Tester is so much nicer than my old one was! Granted, my old one was old, but even when it was new, it leaked air, so I was never confident in the readings I got from it. This GearWrench Compression Tester is very well built by comparison. I love old vehicles, and do my own work, so this GearWrench Compression Tester will come in very handy. Besides giving you a reading of the compression of a particular cylinder on an engine, it is also good for comparing readings from cylinder to cylinder, which sometimes tells you more about the health of an engine than the reading of a single cylinder might. Depending on your vehicle, I would suggest wrapping the hose of your compression tester with a heat-proof material, to protect it from the heat of a hot exhaust cylinder. Needless to say, I learned that lesson the hard way long ago! Thanks GearWrench, and Home Depot!

The GearWrench Compression Tester is a tool I've been needing around my workshop. To test for accuracy, I checked against my pneumatic air compressor precision gauges. After ramping up the air regulator from 10# to 150# in 10# increments, I can report that the Gearwrench compression gauge was no more than 1\2# off at any of those settings...great accuracy! I now have checked my 2-cycle trimmer, blower and 4-cycle zero-turn landscape power tools for proper compression. With the included 14mm and 18mm cylinder head adapters, I'll be ready to check my auto performances when needed!
This compression tester works good and is easy to read. and has a pressure release valve that is nice so you can release the pressure without unscrewing from the cylinder head. This also has a gauge on it thatll tell you if the compression is acceptable or if it needs work. of course you should check with your engine specs to see exactly how much compression your engine should have but just as a quick reference just to give you an idea if the motor is even worth messing with, the red/green gauge on compression is great. i bought this for working on small engines such as for riding mower and it works great. The only thing that i don't like is that it didn't come with any type of case to put it in.

Magnetic Base for Dial Indicators, 3 Segment, Industrial Strength with Quick Release
Remember when you had maximum precision inRemember when you had maximum precision in your measurements Give your dial indicator the support it needs with the WEN Magnetic Base. This handy tool provides a much-needed mount for your precision dial indicator, keeping it elevated and adjustable during operation. Calculate runout and calibrate test equipment with ease by mounting to either the lug or the mount hole of your indicator. Our 3-arm system pivots, bends, and locks in a full 360°, reaching up to 14.5 in. H, All 3 arms are controlled by the quick-release lock knob for fast and accurate adjustments. Simply install the dial indicator using the method of your choice and turn on the magnetic base. This creates over 175 lbs. of magnetic force, allowing you to attach the 2.5 in. x 2 in. base to any ferrous metal surface. With forces of that magnitude, there will be no wobbling and sliding here. After that, adjust and pivot the arm into position and start calibrating. When you're done, simply turn off the power switch, disengaging the magnetic base for simple removal and repositioning. Although this unit was designed with the WEN Dial Indicator (models 10702, 10703) in mind, its universal 3/8 in. mounting hole is compatible with the majority of dial indicators on the market. And, because it's a WEN product, your magnetic base comes backed by a two-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians, and a friendly customer help line, all to make sure you remember WEN.View Full Product Description
