My digicool died on me. I’m looking into a new digital manifold. Is the SMAN the next best option?

So after getting the gas logs in and running, I bought a Defender low level CO detector as recommended and put it in the living room where the gas logs are located. CO levels are staying around...

It seems the batteries are not replaceable. How long do these detectors typically last?

Following. I have been looking into getting one as well. The new fieldpiece looks nice and easy to read. But I think accuracy would be the most important.

I guess it wouldn’t hurt to invest in a personal CO monitor. It probably would have alerted me way before I seen it.

I’m just glad I made it out without any problems. I had it running for over 5 minutes before I crawled around the other side and found that.

That Smith Quickbraze setup looks nice. Will it fit on Victor regulators?

I’ve been looking at these. Which model did you get?

The resolution and accuracy of the Appion looks pretty good.

I have the Inficon wey-tek wireless and I like it a lot.

They have some pretty useful HVAC calculators on their website.

I’ve had this one for a few years and have been very pleased.

I ended up ordering the cheap red one that Jayman posted about. I had some Amazon points so I ended up getting it for free.

Any of you guys tried this one? Has great reviews like the red one posted above.

I’ve been looking at the Inficon Gas Mate. It’s sensitive to 5ppm and has a 3 year over the counter replacement warranty.

A vendor rep for our area that I know personally is thinking about taking this on as a product line. He asked me to get some opinions on it before he makes a decision. I’ve never heard of it. I...

What do you guys think about this smaller brazing setup?

Got my Transformer Rescue Fuse in the mail today. My first impression is it is built very well. Maybe even better than the original Short Pro Tool. Can’t wait to try it out.

What about a gas leak detector? What’s the best model?

I’m working on it

Was thinking about getting a portable CO detector for use during furnace inspections. Any recommendations?

Would something like this works as well?

Does min/max feature work like your describing? My clamp has min/max that I can leave on a motor and it will show the maximum amps it pulled while I was doing something else.
I also have the SC480...

Rarely ever work on units with VFD. But if I do I think my SC480 has Hz function

Other than a little better accuracy, what does the 87 do that you can’t do with the 116 for the HVAC field?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought a Fluke 87V and after a week I realized it’s too big for everyday use. So I bought a 116 and kept the 87V for a backup. Well so far I’ve never needed it. And my clamp

I may be in the market for a new set of digital gauges soon. Not sure what the latest greatest on the market is. I was looking at the new Testo or Fieldpiece SMAN

Let us know the answer when you get it.

I use a kneeling pad for condensers and package unit service. But they are not practical in a crawl space.

I meant wireless, not necessarily Bluetooth.

For those of you who have printers in your service vehicles, what brand or model printers are you guys using?

By the way. I wasn’t thinking when posted this. I probably should have posted it in the junkyard. Mods can delete the thread.

I have one person in front of you interested if they don’t get it you are next on the list. I will know something in a couple hours

Interesting. I think I should ask one of our installers if they need it. They’re rough on tools. Lol
