Review on Orion Motor Tech AC Gauges: Complete 3-Way Automotive AC Manifold Gauge Set with Hoses, Couplers & Adapter for R134a R12 R22 R502 - Freon Recharge Kit for HVAC by Jeffrey Dunn

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No adapter, bad QA

There are some positives, although this is a one star rating: No leaks when vacuuming after wrapping threads with Teflon tape. The sensors seem to be sufficient. Cons: 1. Hook won't hold - may need to add thread lock 2. Okay, it's big. The average hose thread is 1/4 inch and will not fit regular faucets. So you CANNOT charge if you don't find the right faucet. I bought the exact same model sold in national auto parts chains. Today I visited 4 of them Autozone, Knech, O'Reilly and Napa. NOBODY had a suitable tap for this. That makes it 100% useless for me right now. Adapters are not easy to find locally. I need to get one online which is messing up my schedule. Update: I just realized looking back on my order that this kit was supposed to include an adapter. mine is missing

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • poorly thought out
