neither of those links worked for me, but I'm running firefox, so maybe they will work for others. Craftsman makes good tools, they're not the best, but they are the best for the money in my book.

Ahhh, a brave soul!!! I had too many years of writing and testing software. So many that I got real tired of it. Nowadays I let others do the testing. I just use the gold standard releases.
There are many sites that links don't work for and return you to some home page error message like the above links. The best way to avoid that problem is to provide a link to the home page of the store etc and an item number.
For the compression tester either brand will work well. Just get the one with the most adapters. Remember also that it is real difficult to thread in an adapter into a deep hole with a rubber hose on it.

well firefox does have it's advantages. No popups, and no spyware to get it, no "are you sure, you're soing something on a secure network" warnings. The adaptors thing is a good idea. Also don't think that it'll work on a diesel.

I use Mozilla most of the time and Firefox some of the time. Occasionally I am forced to use IE... Yuck!
I am not sure what they use on a Diesel. The guys in the Diesel forum would know that one.

My first compression tester was one of those push in jobs. Neither I nor a buddy could get a reading on it on my 390FE because the pressure would push it out of the hole. A professional mechanic came by and laughed at us and tried it himself. You should have seen him turn purple trying to hold that gage in there! Of course with 12.5:1 compression and 230PSI it made it difficult. I went down to the auto supply store and bought the $crew in adapter.
