Vacuum Gauge and Compression Tester

Anyone know a good brand or kit that I could pick up? Preferably not over $100 but I don't want cheap Chinese crap. Something economical yet still reliable that I can use for many years to come.

Check eBay for used items, they usually have a good selection of tools going way back. I have a a vacuum gauge I bought at Sears many years ago that works fine, they come up often. Snap On stuff comes up regularly too, they had a kit that included both, plus some other stuff.
