Looking for a pressure checker that’ll work on most older shit with a regular cap and maybe newer shit. I saw the Maddox brand at HF for $130 had good reviews. Any of those Assorted attachment kits on amazon worth a shit?
 
I've had one of the amazon 15ish piece ones for 10 years or so and it's worked just fine. Fit everything I needed it for except a ford shitbox, fiesta I think.
 
Made the slug in the lathe, used a bolt in tire valve stem, then a gasket and hollow center cap from a coolant burping kit. Works great.

I have this one. Works good for me. I did buy one adapter for the smaller radiator caps too. I got the adapter off of rock auto and it is made of plastic but works as it should. I also put a quick connect on the hand pump so I could use it to pressure test other things besides just radiators and caps.
