Small engine tool recommendations

Hello.. I am a newbie on small engines and recently have been
working on some scrap saws for practice. I know i would like to
invest in a few common tools but dont know where to start. I was
looking at compression testers but any that fit my budget have
such mixed reviews.. Tons say its great and others say junk dont
waste the money. I was curious if i could get some suggestions
for a compression tester on the lower end that is still known to
do the job. Again i dont have a big budget but will spend a
little extra if it means accuracy and longer lasting. If there
is any out there super cheap but work id love to know :P Also i
cant seem to find anything about them but i was looking into
getting what i assume would be a pressure tester of some sort..
Ive seen them used checking fuel lines etc leaks by adding
litttle pressure. some guidance on one of those or a proper name
of the tool would be great help. Also anything else you guys
know i will need for basic repairs let me know! Ive already got
carb adjust screwdrivers. Thanks

Hey appreciate the help. Got that compression tester and ring
tools then looked into the mityvac there and decided its worth
the extra $30 from the one i was looking at so went with it
also.
