You get a big thumbs up for telling the truth and if they dont adjust the product then why bother with them... Winners make there products better. Losers think they got it right and just do not have a clue...

[philltafolla]

I been using the Elitech scale, Elitech leak detector, Elitech digital manifold, with no problems 🤷🏻‍♂️

[sethcrosby]

So I just bought this set. I been doing A/C and refrigeration for 11 years. Always used analogs and calculated subcool and superheat using temp clamps and using math the guys at my place of work like all the digital stuff until I was intrigued with wireless field pieces. I don’t want to pay $600 + for a setup so I saw these. Good review makes me feel better. I’m not too worried about the brass fittings leaking I can rig stuff up if needed. It’s amazing how technology came a long way . Thanks for the review

[petersamios]

Great honest review. I've seen in other reviews that you really have to tighten them down to avoid leaks - so you have confirmed this. I also like the displays - just wish the temp gauges also had small displays - that would be even better.

As for the App, there may be an option in their Settings part that indicates the actions/connectivity of the probes when you turn off the probes. Something like always remember gauges drop when turned off. Something like that.

[danielalvarez]

These work great! Had them for 2 years now and never had an issue or leak. You need to use thread tape for the gauge threads and then add or use any fittings. But yes the fitting with curve does not work at all. Had same issue with that one.

[johncannon]

The rubber bushing fell out of my high pressure hose the first time I used my new manifold. The fittings are cheap also surprised they are not low loss

[NickolasElliott-usmk]

I have an amazing product that can fix a ton of the issues you were having. Now this product is very new so I may be mispronouncing it but I think its called "Tephlan Tapè." It should be by the burn remover and your van's blinker fluid.

[JeffBrown]

Maybe mount them to an old manifold. And just do the hose

[HVACShopTalk]

Nice and complete review, good work man

[tomn]

Adrian - good review. Best reviews are from the users in the field. Thanks for sharing.

[ramonestrada]

I've had this set for awhile now. So far it's been great accept for the tee that has leaked from the beginning. I use it for quick diagnostic to measure pressure's otherwise I use my fieldpiece probs.

[search_eternal]

Those gauges are best to mount on a manifold and leave them on it.

[jerometruitt]

For the price if the only thing wrong is cheap fittings id say its worth it. Fittings are wear items anyway.

Just purchased these, going to give them a shot. I have the Testo set and I cannot stand that you have to use your phone for everything. It's nice if you're going to be at one place for a while and can track everything on the phone and also get a data log to save for later but if you're just doing PM's and need to check a bunch of systems it's clunky at best. I usually keep just stubby individual gauges in my bag but then it's a pain getting the pipe temperature. I wish somebody would make a pipe clamp with a digital readout instead of the k-type clamp or full Wireless. That would be nice. Got the $17 Leak Detectors with my order as well so going to give them a try. Those might be nice to use on some of the bigger leaks that are easy to find before breaking out the H-10.

[myHVAClife]

Should have put that money into the 6 piece FP JOB LINK set with air probes, when combined with the Measure Quick APP it will actually take the info from all probes and give you a diagnosis while giving you system performance data and tell you what your most likely issues are with the system! Pricey YES, but they give you every piece of info you need down to RH DB WB enthalpy and actual system capacity.

[tommyteamer]

Thank you for techcing how to use the digital Elitech Scale I like the hold set up.

[arrealhandymanservice]

Need to put O rings in them they never fell out

[davidmorris]

2 questions 1 can i put these on a manifold and 2 can i use these on a Vacuum pump system without hurting them?

[jakem]

I have the Appion ION PT set, love em. They stopped making em which is a shame. Thermistor accuracy is rated at + or - .27*F literally the most accurate thermistor I own. Looks like Appion or Elitech ripped off the name and style lol

[ziggyd]

Would either the blue or the red work for simple nitrogen pressure test? I’m installing mini splits so there’s only a low side connection
