Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Very good and sturdy strongly recommend it. This kit is well stocked.

The measurement seems to be very consistent between test runs and cylinders. The gauge is nice. Readings seem spot on and the quality is surprisingly good for the price.

Compression tester is what a good mechanic needs. It's compatible for every lawn mower and * trimmer. The miata is next.



Cons

There is no good reason for mityvac to ship a new gauge that does not work. Buyer beware of this company's products.

    My wrx needed a compression test


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had thought about renting one or borrowing one but honestly i wanted a tool i could know and trust which is why i bought new


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The adapters are of good quality and honestly i would have paid up to 120 for this now


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    All the adapters are clamped on so no fiddling with worm clamps or potentials for leaking air giving false readings

    I had to test my wrx while it was at operating temperature
