AK900 Longevity?

[jpsmith1cm]

The FP clamp is much worse than you know if you are calling it alright. More times than not they are double digits off for me. The TC material is quality but in the clamp it stinks.

Keep a couple of things in mind...

#1. This was a good many years ago. While similar, my clamp was an older model than what is being sold today.

#2. I did no serious accuracy testing with it. It was well before I started thinking about things like ambient temperature influence and accuracy and repeatability.

#3. It was mostly used to measure superheat in refrigerated cases where the ambient temp around the sensor is only a few degrees warmer than the sensor itself.

Perhaps those things influence my perception of it as "alright"

Wow, a lot of good information. I'm pretty sold on the ak900. Do any vendors like R E Michael's sell them? If Im going to buy them now I will have to get a loan from my company. If not, Ill just start saving.

I haven't seen digicools in any of the supply houses. Go to http://www.trutechtools.com or I believe you can buy them straight from Doug at

For what I understand, you can order the AK900 from Johnstone supply but they don't keep them in stock.
