Pressure Test for Water Jacket

Anyone know where I can rent/borrow a test kit for the water Jacket? Atkins sells them but I'd rather not spend $60 on a tool to be used once.

This isn't a item you can really rent. I have the Pineapple Racing one. You could always make one. I thought about making one but after putting in the time and materials, $40 + shipping isn't to bad.
