wayne_smith97 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Anyone have any experience with the harbor freight compression tester? I know you generally get what you pay for but was just wondering if they work ok Quote
sheerider11 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 No. Inhad one that read 60 psi in everything, and 2 that would read different back to back by about 20 psi. Junk all around Quote
Man-O-Steele Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 I have one and it seems to work just fine Quote
sheerider11 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 I have one and it seems to work just fineEver compare it to another known good one? Quote
Tech AS Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 I bought one. It sucked. Usually I luck out with Harbor Freight stuff but not that time. Quote
wayne_smith97 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Posted December 27, 2013 I'm gonna pick one up and match it to my neighbors comp tester from napa and see if they repeat each other if not I will take it back Quote
tdod101 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 No one makes a decent product any more ffs Quote
Free yellow banshee Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 I have one and seems to work good. It has been compared with a snap on and was within 1 pound. Sounds like they are hit or miss. If mine ever starts acting up i'll just get a gauge for it. The case and fittings are good too. Sent from my Torque using Tapatalk Quote
wayne_smith97 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Posted December 27, 2013 Cool thanks for all the input Quote
fappy'97 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 No one makes a decent product any more ffs This is NOT true. Cheap stuff is cheap, not even decent... 95% of the time. People spend $15 on a compression tester and are shocked that it isn't consistent. Orlly. Quote
Bad one ton Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Yeah i wouldn't go cheap on diagnostic tools. You get what you pay for. My snap-on has been going strong for 10+ years and still is accurate with my buddies mac and the shops snap-on. TON! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
RollinRhino Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 I still have my Craftsman and after 20+ years it still works. New they are only $75 but too me well worth it. Quote
