    Only thing I whine about is the location for the sensor jack. Really wish it was on the bottom

    I really like Digi-Cool however I feel like they could make a few minor changes to make things much better.

    I agree with the sensor input location also. I didn't want making another pair of my own clamps. I was using old Testo pipe clams with the digicool thermisters. I also made pair of clamps using small irwin clamps from HD.

    I have a pair for 550's, one 570, one SMAN3 and a pair of AK900's. I do like the Testo's but find the Digi's more reliable when i comes to moisture and soaking up my abuse i dished out.

    The views and opinions posted here are my own. They do not reflect the corporate policies of my employer and will most likely get me fired at some point.

    I have the ak900 with dc clamps retro. I have them in a bag with my gauges but never use them. I use my cooper strap retro for the ak900. I can put the clamps beside each other and never seem to read the same. Maybe just me

    I got two sets of the AK900 clamps in today. They are made very well. They are heavy duty. The wire used is three times the thickness of the sensor wire that comes with the AK900 and twice as thick as dual velcro wrap sensors.

    If you want and specific photos let me know. I'm impressed with the quality of these sensors. For the longest time io kept getting the respones that these type of sensors would never be produced for the ak900! I guess enought people wanted them!! I can't tell you hope pumped i amp to put these to use.

    I just bought the older clamps and cut the end off and soldered on the one that came with the ak900 gauges. I never did understand why more of you didnt just do that. It has worked perfectly and still going. It is nice to see that they finally decided to make some though. I am going to order a set for spares. I dont want mine to crap out next summer and have no back up.

    Is there any info/links on the digicool wireless? I'm curious to know if the clamps will be wireless and any other details if available.

    Not that i am aware of and i purchase from them often. they do give you a discount code after your make a purchase of 20 off 250 usually. Any discount is better than nothing at all.

    I would do something like this, but I know as soon as I do it I will have something unrelated go wrong and be unable to claim warranty.
