leakdown tester
i'm in the market for a leakdown tester and ran across the snap on tester, but, for close $300.00 online, it's a little too rich for my blood.
is there another good, reliable, quality leakdown tester i can purchase for a lower price. if not, i just might bite the bullet and purchase the snap on one online.

Re: leakdown tester (Muckman)
I've been trying to myself, but unfortunately all the valves keep leaking... I'm thinking of picking up a kit myself just because the stupid valves leak + won't hold pressure 
Past 40psi the air starts seeping out from around the ****.

i appreciate the suggestion but, when i purchase tools, i want them to be a long term investment. so, i don't mind paying a little more for something more reliable and long lasting. Matco, has the reputation of being reliable and good tools so, i don't want to purchase something i can only use for a few years and throw away.

Re: leakdown tester (Hatch4urSnatch)
Well, I returned my ghetto leakdown tester pieces and picked up the Tavia unit (it's identical to the Jegs except for the Jegs sticker), I'll let you know how it works shortly 
Damn this is making me nervous 
*edit* I must say, I really enjoyed using the Tevia tester... so damn easy and everything seemed to be pretty high-quality about it
Cyl #1: 3.3% (rings)
Cyl #2: 4.5% (50% rings, 50% valves/other)
Cyl #3: 3% (rings)
Cyl #4: 4.5% (rings)
What do you guys think of these #s? The engine was warm, not hot, and I get between 210 and 220 between all cyls on a compression test.
