Compression and Leak Down Test Tools

Can someone please recommend reliable/accurate compression and leak down test tools. Our host sells multiple tools, happy to go with one of them or something similar from else where. Something that’s not going to break the bank please. Just want something for the occasional home use.

I've been very happy with OTC diagnostic tools. Good price point for personal use.

Their compression tester is ~$60 and leakage tester is ~$75.

Also happy in general with Lisle and Astro Pneumatic brands.

This is my favorite, make sure you buy a gauge set that has psi numbers on both of the gauges. The percentage stuff is junk. 80 psi in, then read the held pressure .good luck , you get what you pay for
