The most common use for a compression tester would be to check the compression in the cylinder of an engine. It will tell you whether there is a problem with your rings, blown head gasket, or perhaps a cracked cylinder head. Older compression testers use a diaphragm or spring for resistance to measure the pressure, but there may be newer ones that are constructed differently.
