Excellent value for money, suitable for tools and equipment

Pretty good quality. Nice big display that I can see from the driver's seat. Used it on a 1998 Ford Expedition and a 2005 Chevy Impala. Features a pressure release button to allow gas to be released into a container. I bought one of these 2 years ago but lost it so I bought another one. I'm glad I did. Great troubleshooting tool.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • I don't like anything about it, everything is fine

Great tools

I had problems with the fuel pump so I got this 10 months ago. I'm fairly new, it was the fuel pump but before I went to the shop I wanted to diagnose myself. Just 1 month ago my Jeep had problems and was able to use it again. Hate to see 12 PSI, small number but easy to understand and seems to work well. The vent also works on two vehicles, with or without an adapter to match the fuel rail.

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Nothing here

Be careful when buying outside the US

The supplier was good, no problems. I need this to measure the pressure on my Volvo Penta 5.7 fuel pump. Did exactly what was intended, I checked several times. However, after a month the O-rings fail and the Ford adapter is unusable. DO NOT CONTACT their customer service, they will tell you to shop locally (no one sells it in the UK!) and they will not ship. Really only good for US customers who can return it (because it would send me back as faulty, it will cost me more)

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Some small things

Poor customer service

This company is now part of Bosch. Makes good scan tools, but maybe you don't have experience with other tools in the shop? I bought this fuel pressure sensor for personal use. I've used it 13 or 14 times and the pressure relief valve stuck and wouldn't come loose rendering it unusable. Checked and cleaned but no improvement. Made in China. ACTRON agreed to ship the replacement valve free of charge. We waited a month and called 3 times. They say they are "working on it". Also, HELLO Revain Webโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Vulgarity

I have been using this fuel pressure test kit for four years and it works great. The bleed valve allows you to bleed all the air from the repaired systems, which significantly speeds up takeoff after takeoff. After testing on cars, trucks, boats and tractors, no leaks were ever found and the gauge is still accurate (calibrated to a precision gauge). The only downside is the adapter for the Schrader valve. The stick that opens the Schrader valve fell out after four uses. I modified it by putting

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Construction
Cons
  • No

Works well for my HD

I bought this to check fuel pressure on my Harley Davidson VROD. The pressure gauge is supplied in a plastic case instead of a storage case. Seems well done. When I first used it the needle was bouncing all over the place and I thought it was broken, but after reconnecting it it worked fine and allowed me to determine that I had a leak caused by a fuel line in the tank became . Ez fix No money to spend. Some people have had trouble with an o-ring, but the instructions say to lubricate theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Weight

Another very nicely made Actron product

Worked great on my 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis. You really need one of these to diagnose an in-tank electric fuel pump failure. This actually happened later when I was already at work testing my problem in many ways, but with that point I would have known what the problem was from the start. What I don't know is if adapters other than the one that comes with this unit are available. I've seen other unnamed kits that come with many of the adapters available from Revain, but far too many of themโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Exterior
