AccuTools BluVac Micron Gauge

[beachtech]

Joey,

I like your product, and while I don't have your Micron gauge (My YJ 69075 still works) I'll buy one eventually! I made a suggestion that you de-couple the sensor from the display about a year ago, I still have to stick with that recommendation. It would really take your product to the next level as far as I'm concerned. If you did that I'd be on board 110%.

Best of Luck!

I agree with this.

I tested bluvac not long ago. hose to gauge left me often trying to get gauge pointed in a ergonomically convenient direction that which it could be read without having to over torque the hose or continue to pick up the gauge and hold it to read it.

Same reason i quit using just about every other micron gauge on the market today and picked up the Y/J setup with remote sensor. I then super glued a magnet to the back of it to make it more user friendly.

If it's not prying to ask, it appears that you have a reciprocal agreement with UEI- they licence your Vacuum gauge and you licence their scale for sale, is that more or less correct?

No, we private-label the scales for them as well. In exchange, we get access to their substantial distribution network.

It would really take your product to the next level as far as I'm concerned. If you did that I'd be on board 110%. beyond that I start to get into "pie in the sky" requests of a trend graph, etc... I won't bore you death!

Your original suggestion is still on my white board (along with dozens of other good ideas). We will continue to design new products centered about the basic BluVac tech, but we are a small company, and new, quality, products take time and money to produce.

As a value added Item I would think you might get some more dollars to sell a Bluvac Kit in a box as a separate add-on sale. A great way to store the bluvac and assorted parts (CRT's, bottle of Alcohol, Vacuum gauge coupler, and so-on) put a good magnet or two on the back and it's the Bluvac kit. Just a thought.

Keep your eyes open...

Best of Luck!

Thanks!

Love mine. I think i have actually loaned it out more than i have used it (to the install crew to hopefully improve the process)

But got an okay and to order 4 Yellow blue vacs from jmart last week. (yay now i can use mine for a change) Now i am going to have to get them some appion valve core removals too.

Our older install guys who didnt believe me about about changing oil frequently and leaking hoses got an eye opener after using your product. they couldn't pull a good vacuums at all. Came to me saying my vacuum pumps broken. Changed the oil, and purchased some new hoses good as new. This tool has greatly improved and will continue to improve our install and evacuation procedure thanks for the great product

We have taken the bluvac apart. Each piece, every piece. I guess they were going to try to fabricate one. Not for me, pita.

We? They? WTF?

Weird post es unless "we" and "they" were going to make a bluvac for accutools

Almost sounds like an attempt to reverse engineer a BluVac.

There are not a lot of pieces....what did you discover?
