    I have the testo 557 and would never spend that much money on gauges again.

    I don't like them so much that I am putting them on craigs list. I just bought the fieldpiece ST4, Dual-Temperature Meter, and will use a normal set of gauges.
    The opinions expressed by me are not that of my employer.

    Just wondering what don't you like about the 557? We sell a lot of them and have very few if any complaints.

    Not bad to upper Michigan. They are a good product. If it your first set you will wonder how you ever lived without them.

    Problem with analog gauges is they can be as much as 25# off... right out of the box... NEW.

    If that level of accuracy is not important... then analog gauges are fine.

    Did you get the latest temp sensor wiring?
    The one I saw looked like I was looking at a set of red and blue 10gauge THHT wires Do yourself a favor and rip the velcro off and just use a reusable zip tie to mount them

    Nice the picture of the tire on it makes sense now lol, I was thinking the velcro might be a pain, it took me 5 min to unravel one, it has memory or something lol.

    Fellow forum members: Uncle and I are supplied by TTT whose customer service is unmatched.

    If Mr. Bergmann makes the statement that DC is superior to a 570, I will buy a DC from TTT.

    In return I want this DC issue to die right here. Agreed?
