Automotive Compression & Vacuum Testers

Automotive Compression and Vacuum Testers

Automotive compression and vacuum testers are available for traditional vehicles, motorcycles, and ATVs. Special equipment options are also available for heavy duty and commercial vehicles from brands like Mityvac, Actron, OTC Tools, Matco Tools, Craftsman, Innova, and more. With such a large variety of options, you are sure to find automotive compression and vacuum testers that will suit your needs. A battery tester measures every volt on each probe and can provide a voltage differential that is useful in testing the efficiency of a spark plug. They can measure relative charge in anything for which they are rated.

The main mechanism that detects leaks relies on pressurized air, which is stored in a cylinder. This battery powered device has a gauge that strategically provides measurements. A typical gadget can detect issues that affect a variety of engine components such as piston rings and gaskets.

Professional compression kits include all of the tools that are needed to tackle maintenance tasks for a wet or dry engine. The pieces in a traditional kit can help you detect valves that stick and cylinders with inefficiencies. What specifically comes in your kit will depend on the type of engine it is for.

A general gas engine compression tester kit includes one gauge, a main hose, and an extension hose. The main hose for gasoline engines is half an inch, and an extension hose is typically 14 inches. Both products can be used during easy or advanced maintenance routines because angled and straight fittings are included. Gasoline testers can handle intense maintenance conditions as users can take advantage of the rubberized protector. This accessory prevents environmental damage and is strategically mounted along the edge of the gauge.

Devices built for tractors have hardware that suits diesel engines. Because diesel is a strong energy source, typical items that are designed for diesel equipment are constructed out of commercial-grade steel and copper materials. The gauge in a diesel tester kit usually has chrome-plated housing, and this special coating prevents wear and tear.

Multiple components are featured in a brake bleeder and compression tester bundle. Most automotive product manufacturers package all of these in a convenient case. Pressure and vacuum test units and brake bundles are beneficial because

• The hydraulic and brake accessories simplify clutch maintenance projects.
• The gauge on the main gadget makes fluid maintenance procedures easier.
• The evacuation accessories can be used throughout strategic maintenance routines.
