    How many gauges have you got?



    Just wondering, I've got my refco ones i use every day, some cps ones as backup, some yellow jacket R410A ones, and i did have some robinair ones i lent and didn't get back and a refco single gauge one i use for pressure testing.

    Am just thinking about getting some testo ones.

    How many gauges do you carry on the van?

    Two. One 401a from Daikin and a a CPS set for everything else (although they do occasionally swap roles

    Can't get too excited over this and 7 seems slightly weird

    I've got 6 so I'm not quite as weird as Frank. However I have just got a refco set with interchangable faces, so when i eventually tidy my van, I can retire some of the others to the shed. Spare set of R410a gauges always hand when doing multiple a/c installations though.

    .

    4 sets 2 with long hoses and 2 with shorter hoses.

    Multiple gauges come in handy when working on packs.
