Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
Quality
This is well made and replaces my 45 year old snapon compression set
This kit is extremely nice and feels very high quality

Perfect for the job at a great value
I purchased this product based on price features and the included case
This was just another prime example of you get what you pay for

Shipping
It arrived very quickly and having used it a few times im more than happy with the accuracy and quality
Product shipping took a bit long but i live in a rural community so it is expected
Competitiveness
The second picture is the same cylinder with the better quality name brand kit
Used on vintage snowmobile 100psi different from cheap competitors
I compared the compression readings from this gauge to 2 other name brand units and they were within 23 psi

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

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