Fuel pump test kit

I had a problem where my fuel pump fuse was blown while out on the trail a while ago. I was low on fuel at the time. The rest of the season I just made sure to keep it above half-full and didn’t have another problem. Over the winter, I am going to pull the tank and make sure it is clean. I may replace the filter in the tank and want to test the fuel pump while I am at it. I have read several threads on replacing the pump.

I want to buy a fuel pump pressure tester but since I only use tools like this occasionally, I didn’t want to buy something like a Mac or Snap On kit? Can any of you recommend a good test kit for me? I do use some Harbor Freight tools but the reviews on their kit is not great. Thanks.
