compression guage

what size end do i need when getting a compression guage ?

I think it is 12mm.  I had trouble finding the adapter so I ended up buying a gauge from Sears that came with a bunch of adapters and that was one of them. 

BTW, going to Linda's Friday?

I'm pretty sure this is the one I got.  If you need me to check for sure, I can tomorrow since it's out in the trailer.

Got it 3 years ago and its buried under a heap of parts that are supposed to look like Legend Cars by now, otherwise I'd go check for sure

Just went by Harbor Freight down here in Florida and they had it for $19.99 so I bought one. I also don't have Gimpsters kind of money.................LOL

I didn't know they got stuff from China...good ol' Wisconsin company, I thought it was all still locally made too.
Too bad, Kenosha has one of the highest unemployment rates here too.

Anyhow...we all know who to beg when we need some off the wall equipment!
