[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 457288, member: 22613"] OTC makes some that are affordable, and are better qualtiy than what you'll find at most places. I have a very inexpensive set from eBay, had them for almost 10 years and they still work fine. I hardly use them though. A word of advice, if you plan to use it on small engines, get one that has a Schrader valve in the tip, right where it screws into the cylinder. If it is mid length in the hose, the volume of the hose adds to the volume of the compression chamber (lowering the compression ratio) and you will get false low readings. [/QUOTE]
