can you use this as a compression tester?

No, it is only used to measure leakage in each cylinder, an OTC compression gauge is useful as another testing tool.
489120
yes you can it does not give you your compression it just tells you where your leak is

Almost any compression type of connector will work, the good point to this tool is that it adjusts for the slightly different lengths in the top line outdoor waterproof types and the indoor types, that are a little shorter. I buy my connectors at Lowes if I am in a hurry, or online at Amazon or Ebay for a much better price.

I used mine for a nailer to nail down my hardwood floors. really good compressor for that - also use it to top up my car tyres on occasion!

I doubt it. Though for the price, it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you'll have a great portable compressor for small nailing jobs, inflating tires, etc. BTW, how do you de-gas something with a compressor?

It will certainly do the job, but you really don't need a compressor this powerful. A smaller one like the Senco PC 1010 would do just fine.

Yes. Keep in mind that it's not an advanced tester. It only tests the pins in sequence to see if each wire is connecting. If a light doesn't show, you have a bad cable. It doesn't test things like capacitance, attenuation, crosstalk, and the like.

MY answer was assuming you wanted to actually fill your tires with air! Otherwise why would you be looking to buy a compressor to just ck the tire pressure? .. if thats the case , just by a simple tie pressure gauge!

Yes you can. All you need is a 1/2"mnpt x 1/4" compression. Our you can reduce it down from 1/2" mnpt.

You can use it, but you must have the air pump adapter on the valve to get a reading. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DW444C6?cache=011ebe00f10d082a3a338bf9e69ad0e2π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1410197251&sr;=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

Yes you can, I use it primarily for this and it works very well. It takes less than 8 seconds to get a stable reading.

I have used this compressor with a finish nailer on a small home improvement project and it worked fine. I would not use for any big projects or with tools that require a lot of air.

I don't know why not, I just measured the sound of an air compressor in a closed garage today, works great!

I just tried this and it did function as a pressure gauge when not connected.

Yes, you can plug this in at each end of your data run and test continuity. I have used it quite a bit and it works well.
1437139
Yes, But you really do not need the whole gauge. Use the end of a cylinder compression tester that screws into the spark plug hole. The other end that the gauge goes on, plug your air line into. If you use the Gauges, just turn your Regulator all the way up so you get Max. Pressure in the cylinder Chamber.Pressurize cylinder with both valves closed AND Piston at the Top of the Cylinder.If you loose pressure the piston will keep the valve from falling all the way down into the Cylinder.

In theory it can be used for whatever. I used it for one night to run a CPAP machine, but then it broke. I wouldn't recommend it.

diesels make more compression so I would get a gauge set made just for testing diesel engines
