The gizmo you need to do it should only be about 30 bucks or so?

i'd just find someone that would do it for cheap, unless you think you'll use the compression testing stuff again

It's cheaper and less bother to buy the tool, and you will have it on-hand for next time you might want to do a compression test.... like when you buy a car next, or someone you know does etc.
