Anyone got any recommendations? A bewildering choice on evilbay/Amazon etc.
Thanks in advance,
Bru.

Think they are all pretty generic, I would say just get one that covers the expected compression range you want to test for.

Who needs a signature anyway......

I have a Gunson tester. Comes with standard large plug thread and one adaptor for the smaller plugs. I doubt they are very accurate but as long as both cylinders are about balanced, its a good result.
About 17 pounds when i bought it about 20 years ago.

Re: Compression Tester

I see the Gunson tester is near 50 quid now but toolacademy has a 20 percent discount code running this week on ebay. The Gunson has a very good quality brass piece to go in the plug hole but there are many other makes at just over a tenner. I suspect they may not be as good as the Gunson one.
