The supply houses sell Mastercools and Refcos, which are both junk. Sad, very sad.

    I did, I see a few more buttons on the 1250, a different color case, and different type of screen, other than that saw nothing in the description that seems much different to me.

    Looked again, I see the deciding factor for me(dual temp sensors on the 1250)

    What else is different that i am missing?

    over the 1600

    watch some of the videos

    the 1250's have a backlight as well and i think it's four different colors to choose from. the 1250's have the dual temp SH/SC as you were saying, Adjustable digital readout update rate: 1 second, 5 second or hold digits, Includes profiles for 30 common refrigerants (the 1600 does 23 refer's)

    i think that's it

    well I use 2 refrigerants, but the dual temp is the only way I would have it, so I guess I have a few hundred more to save up, cause I gotta have those spring clamps too

    Ok.

    This whole Digi-cool thing is really getting my attention.

    Questions,

    In the "hammer test" vid, is that just a case or are all of the electronics inside?

    Who has the oldest set of digi-cools? 2,3,4 years? What kind of lifespan?

    The price seems a bit steep, but I'm a sucker for a gadget.

    you sound just like me lol

    only two refer's right now!

    don't you do alot of commercial stuff? those R-22 units, as they break and the price of 22 skyrockets, you'll be using a third refer

    all i can say is mine are almost a year old, no problems thus far.

    i don't see why they won't last longer than any set of analog gauges

    i could see where they would last me much longer than 5 years
