Coolant System (Radiator) Pressure Tester

Hi guys,
Just asking for advise on purchasing the above unit. Should I buy or rent from a FLAPS? What brand have people purchased and are you happy with it?
Would you or did you buy one of the kits with multiple adapters?
If anymore bought the single adapter unit, what is the part number is it. 12018
Advise will be appreciated

I bought one from Stant a year or two ago through Amazon, i think the seller was ToolTopia. I bought the 12270 which works fine with the cap used on the expansion tank on the 944.

It is a useful tool to have around especially if you work on your own cars often. But if your like me, you dont feel much remorse when buying tools .

thanks for the recommendation Techoduck ! I will check it out on ebay tonight.
I love buying tools whether its for the car or powertollds for the house. I wish I bought a Motive Powerbleeder years ago. Oh, then there is my multi hellicoil kit
I think a coolant tester will pay for itself in a few months and give me peace of mind that there are no air locks within the system.. I can also use it on my old mans 944 too.
