Title: Vacuum gauge options
Post by: maxmechanical on July 20, 2018, 09:54:15 PM
Hello, I am new here. Trying to get a good vacuum gauge. Any suggestions ?
Checked WWG and Wolseley, they have YJ, CPS,TESTO. but looked at U.S., seems the Bluvac is more popular there.
Any suggestions ?

Get a Bluvac,  I have 2 of them,  I've been through YJ and absolutely hated it.   I've have a CPS one as well, its not so bad.

Performance is the same, the LTE has more features.
