Review on Universal Black A/C Valve Core Remover/Installer by MASTERCOOL - Model 58490 by Tom Reid

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It works great for ALL AC except Ford

Most of the bad reviews here are obviously user error. This tool is not really intended for the average handyman. When you're working on a printing system, it needs to be treated like a bomb, because that's what it is. Most modern heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are under high pressure and compressed gas in a closed system is in most cases a bomb. That being said, if you use this tool carefully and thoughtfully, it works well. It's very well done. However, on some accessories, some O-rings were not fully installed. A quick jab with the pickaxe fixed it. Overall I recommend this tool if you are a pro. This is the most versatile kit I have come across as it also works with the R-22 and R-410a home systems.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doesn't fit all
