Testo 550 Reliability?

It was the part that connects into the manifold. Is that easy to repair?

If you can change the battery you can change that part

Great, anyone want to buy it? The fieldpiece just seems so much easier to use with two clamps and surprisingly rugged design.

I'm sure that you can sell it.

$275 total. Everything works, except the lead is broken off, completely to the unit. I will send a picture this afternoon.

Good first Day at the booth.....lots of interest and NO ONE broke the DRSA so we couldn't give away a AK900....

Thought that you all might be interested in this.

Video from the "break a DRSA" at AHR.

Sadly, nobody won...........

Sadly, this has turned into something of a joke!!!!!!!!!!I don't no about my testo550 SHELL__ I haven't hit it with a hammer with the eletronics removed-- give me a break- there are plently of materials man makes that can take a beating by a hammer. If the aka900 was in the shell them bozs are hitting with the hammer it wouldn't work or in fact you wouldn't work either if hit by a hammer... give me a break.. I am sure Doug makes a very good product- I haven't tried one to judge- But I bought a testo 550 and was giving my experince with it- seeing as how that was what the question to this thread was about in the first place.

BUT........ sadly Testo didn't use "one" of these materials, otherwise the display on my 550 wouldn't have cracked!

your display is part of the electroincs, it wouldn't of been in doug's test- he just used the outside <empty> shell.........

Sorry, should have used the term "display window" which is an integral part of the housing. Nothing to do with the electronics.

you no what i meant...


it is what it is. I can not say I am not a fan of digi cool...... I have never owned one................ but I do own a 550 and I have had no problems with mine.......... In fact I here GREAT things about digi cools.. it is just that I bought the testos here on line with thehvac-talk buy out thing we had almost 2 years ago and the 550 were my first digi's and I have liked them... I am sure That IF I wanted to spend some more money on a set I would like to get the aka900 but I don't need another set at the moment...... this debat
could go on longer than time ...............
