"you get what you pay for"
I learned the hard way.
I thought I had a tired eng due to one of those "garden variety" compression testers
I also melted a hot-rod two-stroke in one of my sleds because the compression tester I had read low! Spend a little more now will save you in the later.
I bought a Snap-On and love it.
