    ummm can't justify buying another set of gauges. have no use for it. prolly would like to get the swaging set, instead of using hammer on one.

    Try one and you will see.

    Is it the best display available? No.
    But It's always easy on the eyes and easy to read, in all temps.
    It's like it's actually built for commercial use, versus glamor for a few months and then... **poof!**

    No hooks breaking off, no high side leakages, no raindrops or condensation killing it instantly.
    I normally second guess every large purchase I make, but no regrets here.

    If I buy the Hilmor I will your be short one set of the number you own. If I had a pair of DCs I would be dead even with you.

    Curiosity: What models do you have?

    None of the new Hilmor products will be available until March 4th or 5th.
    Yes. In speaking with Hilmor I got the website FieryChill that is accepting advance orders.

    I am 3/4 sure I will order one in the morning. But I am going to negotiate like I have never done before. If I can't get some consideration I must just let the sale go.

    They are even more ridiculous in person than they appear in the video.

    They really take away from what otherwise seems like it may be a decent instrument.
