Compression Tester

What compression testers do you all use??? I had a close call the other day...I went to advanced auto and bought a compression tester kit (adapter that screws into spark plut hole, 1ft long hose, and the gauge) So I connect the hose to the adapter a screw it into my spark plug hole. Check the compression...but when I go to take out the hose and adapter only the hose comes out leaving the adapter down in the spark plug hole...None of my sockets would fit in there so I bit the bullet and put superglue around the threads of the hose so that when I screwed the hose back into the adapter it would get glued together and they would both come out together.

Luckily, I didn't tighten the adapter too much b/c it then came right out of the hole with the pieces superglued together....I'm scared to use this same kit again b/c I don't want to get that adapter stuck down there again, but there is a good chance that it will all hold up since I have the hose and adapter superglued together now! What compression tester kits do you all use???

Dude, use some red loctite, itll never come apart again.

yeah man you have to tighten that shit up like whoa before you to a test, and make sure you put some oil on the rubber o-ring to help seat everything. dont feel bad though, i've seen that happen before...twice lol.

Yeah, also if you dont have it tight you could get a flase reading from leaky threads and O-rings.
