Most of the manufacturer names are unfamiliar and on close inspection many of the products are Chinese in origin.

Was just looking for guidance in selecting a durable, quality product.
How often do you plan on pressure testing your cooling system? Typically you can find a leak fairly quickly unless a head gasket leak is suspected and even still, that would show up in the form of a milk shake in your oil, a stream of coolant down the side of your engine block, or rapidly overheating and boiling over coolant from the overflow tank (exhaust gases in the coolant). You can just rent a decent quality test kit from the local parts store. If you are set on having the best, then purchase one directly from MB
