That could be a bit risky with the compression tester... it took me three tries to get a good one. First one the pressure wouldn't release, second one the pressure wouldn't hold, third one has been fine. Going through that process by mail would have been a real ugly situation. Others have reported similar results.

Mail order would be fine for wrenches, drills, blades, pliers and so forth, but risky for something like this.
