My brother's PT Cruiser has developed a nasty radiator fluid leak and is now overheating. I need to pressure check the cooling system to pinpoint where the leak is coming from. This means I need to buy a tool to pressure test the cooling system. Anybody have any recommendations on brands? I would prefer to buy American made and not get any Mickey-Mouse Chinese garbage. I don't care if it is 50 years old so long as it works and will KEEP working.

Thanks.

The inexpensive "Star" brand from J.C.Whitney one I got long ago had many problems with leaks - my Snap-On one works great; I inherited it and it seems to have been made in the early 70s. I use it every time I open up a cooling system.

Thanks. I will keep my eyes out for a Snap-On tester.

I have a "Stant".
Why not get one from a parts store loaner program, just to use?
