Which leak down kit for LSx?

Which leak down kit are you guys using for the LSx? Any adapters for the end of the hose?

Anyone know if the Proform from Summit works without any adapters?

Search isn't working for me. Thanks,
Wes

Reviving this thread, rather than start a new one:
Has anyone used this one? Please note, this will be a one-time use only, so I don't want/need to spend big bucks.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=140184736478

I have also seen it marketed as:
Star Products STRCLT2PB Cylinder Leak-Down Tester
Engine Cylinder Leak Down Test Kit - 7751, by Astro Pneumatic

So it is likely a generic kit made in the far east.

I have the Proform from Summit and it works well. The one on Ebay looks good enough also.

If I repaired engines all the time, then I could justify buying the snap on stuff like that. But I really would like one.
I have a Blue Point LSx crank balancer puller (I believe its Snap-Ons cheaper brand) and it works great. It was $100, got it for a present.
