Hi All
New to the forum , looking for advice & feedback on the best value for money a new vacuum gauge might be. Looked at Testo, Javac & Yellow Jacket , not an easy choice as there are quite a few on the market . Mainly involved with AC & Refrigeration work.
Thanks

I use analog 4" by Refco and electronic one by JB.
Both are accurate and reliable.

Dont think there is a lot of difference in any of them I've got a testo and a supco one I prefer the supco as its seems a bit more durable nice backlight turns itself of after a set period testo was fine but failed in warranty and took testo 5 months to repair it

Thanks for your feedback, in two minds about the Testo , I’ve read about the Supco , I’ll see if they’re available in the UK , bit more research I think

I'm having issues with my Testo not holding vacuum when isolated from the pump and circuit. Can't beat the old analogue dial gauges in my opinion.

I must admit Frank my opinion of testo is not what it was
We all no you get iissues with products but I've sent back a vac gauge and digital gauges to testo and had nothing but grief with them terrible customer service from my point
