Should be able to handle any compression test with all the adapters

I was worried these made in china compression testers all had all the variety of issues other reviewers of this model (and seemingly identical other models with lower reviews) noted. The first time I checked compression on my Volvo T5 2005 V50 to the Loaner unit from an autoparts store, with a cold engine, got 70-95-95-95-70. Hmmm, not good but engine is cold, and I must return the loaner. So I order this Jiffetor compression tester that also include a rigid 6inch metal threaded tube fitting. You have probably noticed most other kits do not have the long threaded adapter, it was $2-$3 more than sim kits. I was concerned the black rubber tube adapter was loosey goosey or gonna break when twisted. This time I warm up the engine as suggested, readings are 100-x-115-x-82 (was after the squirts of oil into the plug hole). I concluded, the cold engine and warm engine gave similar psi, the professional loaner kit and Jiffetor gave similar psi. The squirts of oil did raise compression a little, to be expected in older engines. Image shows the Jiffetor pressure gauge adapted to air compressor outlet, and all 3 read the same.

It has the metal extension tube which on deep recess spark plug openings is very useful. The other kits do not. Good written information given with kit and support info too. Excellent for compression test and finding blown head gaskets.

The 10mm brass adapter was not long enough to achieve secure thread engagement (3 turns) before fully compressing the o-ring seal.

the kit itself is well built, the components all look well. it just wouldn't screw into the engine, if it had worked I would have given it a five.

I have a classic car. this is a must have to determine the overall health of the engine and see if there is anything that is causing problems with the car running. If you have low compression, your car wont start properly or run properly.this really helps you in diagnostics of an engine that has issues. IF you have low compression this will find it. must have for any mechanic.
