Default I want to test mine's compression soon. I was going to just get a compression gauge thingy

warm up the engine, disconnect the fuel pump and ignition, then crank it up for each cylinder. Did you have a leak down test done?

Default na, I think all they did was a compression test. I've heard the snap-on

compression test is the best one to use. The HF one doesn't give accurate results every time.
