Is anyone else using a digital manifold such as a Fieldpiece or Testo for Com. Ref. work?

I've adjusted several EPRs after Techs had dialed them in with your mentioned method. That's the reason I ask.
Its not the tools, its the person using them!

I have used both and own the field piece. I dont find myself using them as often as I thought I would. I will say they are nice to to check sub cooling and super heat at the same time.
Been beating the crap out of Digicools for 3+ years.
Everything from prep tables to big racks.
I've been using my AK900's for a while and don't ever see going backwards to the old school method . . Except when using my stubbys on critically charged stuff.

Been using Digi-Cool 1200 & 1250 everyday for a few years now in Supermarkets. I've put tens of thousands of pounds of refrigerant through them and probably a little over 200 gallons of oil.
In the freezer, dropped, kicked, stepped on, bounced around in the back of my van.
Still work great.
Been using my DC 900's for last two years in resi, comm, ind & refer work. Along with my stubies, I'm in heaven.
Now if I can find hoses that can stand toe-to-toe with my DC's! Any sugestions?

Digi-Cools 1200 and 1250's for years. They take a beating and keep going.
Just got the Digi-cool AK900's. they are great so far. Had the JB digital gauges and after 4 repairs at $ 100 each and they broke again I had enough. There's a reason why they were discontinued. They would keep sending me new ones and there would always be something wrong. Once I didn't even get away from the sales counter and they stopped changing refrigerants, they were stuck on R-22. Needless to say, stay away from them...
