[QUOTE="86tuning, post: 457289, member: 23006"] The snap-on gauge itself isn't that expensive. It's the box and accessory hoses that cost a mint. So if you only need ONE hose you can buy it piece by piece, and save a bunch of money for a quality gauge. Thing that kills a gauge or any measuring tool is impact. So keep it in a box, and be careful not to drop it. Both of my snap-on compression gauges are over 20 years old, and work just fine. I have one at home, and one at the office. I also prefer their torque wrenches. The real question is, why do you think you need a compression gauge? Usually they are only useful for confirming that the jug is dead. Or checking an engine that doesn't run, before purchasing it. [/QUOTE]
