But either way, they read lower.


Here's what the tip of a hold-in type, or hold-in adapter should look like.


This is the same tester I picked up after my Craftsman gave up....... some where around 12-15 bucks at Farm and Fleet a few years back.

Could get it to double check.

On the hold in type, the check valve is also the relief valve.

With the attachment types, the relief valve is on the gauge end. But the attachment should have the check valve in the tip like this one.
