I just feel like one wrong move and I'll snap the head clean off from the meter. I'm good with the 77, solid.

You have to hold those boards while you do it because York doesn't secure the board to the case. I'm sick of York! Milwaukee above all else makes a small, about the size of a pocket digital thermometer, lighted (and very brightly lighted too) ncv voltage tester that sells at The Home Depot for around $20. 50 - 1000 volts ac so no real low (24 volt) voltage detectability though. http://www.milwaukeetool.com/tools/t...th-led/2202-20 Might be useful for you as you can stick it behind the ear or under a beanie cap and point it versus having to hold a full size flashlight in the hand up on a ladder. I used it yesterday on an electrical re-wire of an old 1923 three story home with get this, a *BASEMENT here in Houston. First basement I've ever heard of let alone been in in the 10 years in either trade down here. *sub floor mechanical room with a Bryant Evolution system that I was much more interested in versus the 14-3 wire I was pulling.
We got all the major HVAC tool players responding here except Fluke. Anybody got a clue on that?

If its built to spec and the design was good to start with, it will be a quality product. Prices of American Manufacturing has risen without any benefits and we'd be priced out of the market if we got it made here. A good book on this is The Machine that Changed the World. It's not cheap labor like most people think. I have sitting in front of me the ASH2 Superheat Accessory head, made in February of 2004, serial number 02041 and MADE IN USA!!!!

Theyre in the garage, in my shop, in the basement, on my truck. I was just throwing calcium chloride on the ice in my driveway out of one an hour ago when I got home. I have one on the floor of my truck with some dog treats in it for whenever I pull into a cust's driveway and a cujo dog comes out running at the truck. The friggin things don't fade, crack, freeze, or wear out. They stack up like crazy and don't fall over. I've been chucking them and giving them to friends that like them for small parts also for a couple years now. We go thru like 3 or 4 a month or so around here so they add up fast. I used to value myself as being a person without any form of OCD, then Folgers started making these awesome plastic cans haha. You should build a house out of them like the Bud Light commercial. I know you have the energy!
