Cylinder Leakage Tester

[78Eliminator]

Where can I buy a decent one? Snap-on is out of stock on-line and I don't know how to get in touch with one of those snap-on trucks....
MAC doesn't have one in their on-line catalog.
Who else has them?

jegs part # 901-14MMLDT $117.99 @ JEGS.COM

[78Eliminator]

Perfect! Is there any reason this one is $119 and the Snap-On one is $299?

[Oldsquirt]

If you want to get in touch with a Snap-on dealer, or Mac or Matco.....Just go to a local auto repair facility and ask a tech for the info.

The Snap-On tester is mounted in a plastic box and uses a single, direct readout gauge. It also says "Snap-On" on it wink
You know you need to use this with an air compressor, right?

You know you need to use this with an air compressor, right? Yeah, I know. Should I shell out the extra cash since I am going to have it the rest of my life? What do you use?

Us poor people just use a Morosso. Works fine for a cheap price. Mine is 20 years old. Still tickin. :D

Total-Seal has one for right around $100.

[Thunderbutt]

Summit Has them. Daul gauge for $69.00

[Oldsquirt]

Well, mine says "Snap-On" on it. Probably overkill unless you use it almost daily. Bought it half a lifetime ago. You were probably tooling around the neighborhood on your Big Wheels back then :D
126 Driver, the one in Jegs is the Total Seal unit.

If it was about 25 years ago I was :D

[Oldsquirt]

It was purchased in 1979, so 24 years ago :D

[Oldsquirt]

When it's your line of work, having the right tools is rather important.... :D

[Jordy]

Don't be a pussy, go with the Snap-on. :D

[Oldsquirt]

What's that saying about "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"? I want a job where I can sit behind a monitor all day. Too much wear and tear on the body in my job.

[Jordy]

Cool. I need to borrow it one of these days... :D

The only reason to buy Snap-on would be for the convince of them comming to your shop. Buy the cheeper one, for as much as your going to use it it will last a life time. By the way I have the one that looks like that but It was made by Mac tools. Strap-on gets to much for there tools and most of them arn't any better then any other major tool co. I have had mine for a whole lot of years and the only thing I have ever had go wrong and it was my falt, was I droped it and the glass broke on one of the guages.

Be smart buy snap on keep your eyes open for truck use to live in santee they make the rounds,or buy a sun just as good same package

[DaytonaU]

My Snap- On guy will just meet me somewhere on my way home. I just call him and he tells me where he will be. He's really accomadating, probably because he knows I'm going to drop a couple of bills. wink
