I picked up this one from Craftsman a few years ago. It covers everything and I've used it countless times, and you can get it for $60. Even less during one of their sales.

Make sure there's a 12 mm adapter in the set Tom, if you plan on doing a Gen 1. Auto parts store brands are fine for occasional use.

A good one indeed, really most anything that threads in and not made in China should get you there. My $200 Matco is no better than my well aged Craftsman, just a couple more oddball fittings and adaptors. Consistency between cyls is more valuable than a surgically accurate reading anyway.
