Nice, with the blu vac, it would be impossible not to spot a small leak with the range it shows. Excellent tool I'm gona have soon
Hi, All.
FYI: Here's a video Mitts made of 2 BluVacs vs. a JB.

if your in the market i cant recommend this gauge enough. As with all the little guys digi cool, accutool appion etc... if we dont support them they wont be there. I dont think its any secret what a certain color manufacture did to a ceratin loud mouth scot outa the NW part of Canada. If you resemble this comment it is purely coincidence as these are fictional examples
Any negatives with it? I just saw on another thread that you just bought it. And compared to supco it's great. I have a YJ 69075 and I'm wondering how Bluvac compares with it. I've been happy with my YJ, but I also love accuracy. This alone could make me switch. Thanks

I have only compared it with the supcos we have. I dont have anyhting YJ anymore so i cant make that comparison. I do own a analog TE and they are real close to each other on the pull down. The differnce we are seeing so far is how they respond once you blank them off.
You are correct I only picked one up friday. I wasted most of the day setting up a rig to test them and then was there sat and sun fooling around with it and it was in the field yesterday and toady, which lead to me finding out my gauges were contaiminated. BTW neither the TE or supcos caught that. I wont pretend this was a scientific lab test just a mech, like most of you fooling around in his shop. Who knows maybe it will blow up next week ;-).
I dont think I need anymore then the 30 hrs i have spent playing around with this thing to recommend it over the supco. Is it as good as the time tested TE? unkown ill keep you posted but that could take awhile ;-)
hmm Interesting. I was under the impression the Thermal was the best. Picked that up last year.
How does this one work? Will it have the same issues in cold weather as the TE?
Where is it made?
How much?
Gotta have the right tool for the job!
Where is all the stuff MADE IN THE USA?

did any one read the Calibrate instructions? Thats one unique way to do it lol.
Looks like the accuracy is comparable to the Thermal. Ill stick with that one for now.

Very well
Actually, what makes it special cannot be revealed at this time.
The BluVac will operate within its published specs from 0C to 50C (32F to 122F)
For the foreseeable future, South Florida.
List is $249.

±5% and 5% of reading are two different things
FWIW Here is the field calibration procedure for the thermal.
I've done this before.

OHH no sh*&. I didnt notice that Ice. Thanks for posting this. SO the thermal is actually 10% off? I dont get this crap yet lol. Also how are these accuracies made? Is the manufacturer in charge and thats it? Anyway they could be fudged?
How much more accurate is this accutool?

Iceman Ive seen them instructions before. Why in the world did you need to do that? How off was your gauge?

Be willing to bet the TE is spec'd at a sweet spot around 80°F since they don't list it
The BV is spec'd thru the whole operating temp 32-122°F
Was looking for anything that I could find wrong. I believe it was a loose connection internaly giving me screwy readings that time. When I did it I missed the last part where you check the number stamped on the sensor. Eveything checked out to that point though.

Ok I see. All these accuracy number give me a headache. I try to do the best job I can but need to stay within some limitation.. So when are you picking up a Bluvac.
Since my Thermal is new and guys have been using them for a long time I think Ill hang on to it for awhile. I just hate to find out in 5 years that it is an inaccurate POS lol.
