Cheap But Accurate Compression Gauge

[Bingster]

I'm starting my '47 DeSoto when the weather gets warmer. I watch a lot of the "will it start after 100 years?" videos on YouTube. Seems that after they get one started, they'll pull the head cover and see if the valves are stuck. Then the compression tests. So any good ones that aren't terribly expensive?

I have an Actron one, had it for decades.  Had to replace the schrader valve once.  I not sure if I'd recommend it as mine was likely made in the US and today, who knows.  At this point in my life I am looking for quality tools not cheap ones, usually you can't get both.
