I would probably go with the RF set instead

I would echo what most of the other reviewers have said about this sensor set. It comes with a lot of stuff, seems to work and I can use it at home on very rare occasions. The scale on the bottom dial is very oddly high indeed, which is frustrating, but I think it works. Unlike the other reviewer, my handles are metal so that's nice. I'd really like to see it returned to its box without completely disassembling everything (including the hanging hook). The tubes are quite stiff even in very warm temperatures, so I can't imagine them being usable in winter. The 4 hose design is ok I guess but it means there are two extra handles that most gauge sets have. All of the YouTube tutorials I've watched operate the two valves on the front of the manifold, but those valves (high and low hose) are on the side of this manifold, so keep that in mind. The diagram in the manual of which hose goes where and which valve controls that is ridiculously small and almost unreadable. It's not really a problem, but it's not a big problem either. However, everything works. I would probably go with the HF set given the choice as it looks better and seems to have better pickups and such (which is pretty amazing).
