Replyyellow jacket has 3 models that are good. Each model is a bit more high end then the next and prices reflect that.

We have the Yellow Jacket 69086 digital Vaccum gauge. Works good and seems to be reliable. Been using it for over a year without any problems.

Yellow Jacket 69086.
You could go cheaper but IMO this gauge is about the best buy for the money.
Replaceable sensor. So when you douse it with refer you can just replace the sensor. Either way make sure you get one with a wire and sensor. So you can replace the sensor if need be.
Dont get one that shows a bar. Get one that shows numbers.
Ive had mine for bout 2 years. Had to replace 1 sensor cause i blasted it with 22. But it was a $50 replacement instead of buying a new gauge.

I have the SuperEvac YJ 69075.Very accurate. would buy again. When above your budget go with YJ 69086.

I have a Supco 64 and a JB DV-22 but I want a YJ 69075! I wish the price would come down some. For several reasons I think it's the best made right now.
Yes, I know I Shouldn't But I Just Can't Help Myself...

69060 is the one to get. I believe it is the most accurate and has an operating temp down to -10. We hate working in the cold but all the others state the operating temp is only down to 32. Most (of us) work below that temp. I think it's the # 1 gauge on the market.

I have a couple of Inficon Pilots, on ht eplus side they read from atmospheric to zero in single digits, but the down side is they tend to eat 9 volt batteries. The company stands behind them well and if you get frig oil on the sensor you can clean it with rubbing alcohal.

Yellow Jacket 69086, had it for a couple years now I clean the sensor with alcohol and I just put new orings in it. For the price its a decent gauge, I used to have a supco the one that looked like a drag race tree, I never really trusted it. The only problem I had with my yellow jacket if I leave it out in the sun the screen will turn all black, if I remember I stick it back in the bag to protect it from the sun.

A set a Appions vacuum rated diaphragm manifolds, their 3/4" hoses and a Thermal Engineering analog micron gauge is the ultimate set up, and I have or had all them other cheapie ones mentioned.
