Now there are cheaper plastic versions than this metal one. Also be careful being lead a stray and getting a vacuum only version as you do want to get the combo unit. There are times that you can find a good deal on these but it takes time. Locally they were wanting close 100 usd for mine but I was able to find it online for 52 usd including shipping at the time I purchased my tester.

I did have a minor problem my unit when I got it as line adapters are molded and those area weren't as smooth as needed to seal well but that is an easy fix.


Oh nice, thanks AVB :), that certainly looks like something that will come in handy.. a little pricey though. Being in Australia, the MITYVAC aus store is asking $118 for the kit smirk

I checked out ebay, there are quite a few pumps.. but most of them seem to be just a vacuum pump.. but I did come cross a couple that 'might' work..


Vac/press pump 1

[note] it says "Features simple push/pull function for choice of pressure or vacuum testing"


This next one looks the same as above, but doesn't mention of any function to choose vac or pressure like the 1st one..

I've sent a couple of enquiries.. will have to see what they say..

Thanks again smile
