Big box store loaner tools, you get what you pay for


Recommended Posts

I recently loaned a compression tester from o'reilly's and got disconcertingly low readings (100-120 psi). I was a little stumped  because other tests went well and the camper was driving strong. So, after a successful 200 mile test trip I stopped into another big name auto parts store and loaned a second compression tester.  170 psi x4?.

So how do you decide which one's right? :rolleyes:

Flip a coin?  We'll see next week when we head to Montana, I guess. 

Interestingly, when I called up the oreilly's to report my findings they said, "oh yeah, that hasn't been working".  Ha.
