5Great compression tester  Apr 20, 2008
By K. Balona
I'm very very pleased with this tester. I use it professionally and it seems to be much better quality than my old K-D Tools tester, which was supposed to be high quality but turned out to be a piece of junk (I'm talking about the K-D, to clarify).
The hose on this Lisle tester is much stiffer and sturdier than the K-D's, which increases the accuracy. The thread seals are much better on this one, also. On the K-D, I had to put teflon on the threads before screwing it into the engine, not this one.
I couldn't be happier.

3paid $25, worth about $25  Feb 26, 2011
By Marc E. Vandyken
Quality hose and brass fittings, but cheaply made gauge...thin stamped casing, uber thin plastic lense. Ok for homeowner/hobbyist use.

Good grief Lisle, you have 8oz of brass and hose, and you top it off with a 2oz gauge? Reminds me of those cheap automotive gauges they sold at KMart back in the 1980's. Would not be suprised if the instrumentation was made in China.

5An Awesome Made In USA Tool!  May 23, 2011
By Aaron L.
I use this compression tester to test the compression of small engines(mainly chainsaws) when I am working on them. It works flawlessly and appears to be built well. The only real complaint that I have is that the plastic covering the dial gets scratched very easily and that seems a bit flimsy. Other than that, it appears to be built very well, so I am not sure why they skimped on that! It is well worth the price I paid, and because of that, I give it 5 stars anyway.

As the previous reviewer stated the hose is sturdy and the threads fit the threads in the head well. They do but the threads are made of bronze or some other soft metal and I can already see them getting damaged after a few uses. This is not a shop tool this is for the car enthusiast who only occasionally checks compression. Not a bad deal at all if you don't use it often in a repair shop.
