I have an old truck that leaks refrigerant each fall and winter. Every year I had to purchase a new attachment hardware piece, because it was made out of cheap plastic. This rig is robust rubber hoses and metal attachment valves. The valves worked as I hoped recharging my truck AC. The gauge measure how much goes in and what pressure the system has. I am very happy with this purchase.

This is hard to find in stores. Comes with two R-134a can taps including old style (piercing) and the new style (self sealing). It has two piercing valves for refrigeration lines. The gauge isn't fancy and there are no directions but this is a good buy for the money.

I have worked on A/C units on everything from From Major Data Centers to everything in between.I was hesitant in using a single gauge servicing unit but was surprised at how well everything looked when I opened the package. The hoses worked well but I should suggest using the enclosed tape on the fittings. The best part about this system was the enclosed fitting adapters. The fittings allowed me to service the RV A/C as it did not have standard auto fittings.Although this is not a professional system, it is perfect for limited usage. I liked it so well that after plugging up the open hoses it has been added to my RV and auto R134A bag.

My ~2004 Whirlpool side-by-side fridge wasn't keeping things frozen any more, and the ice maker had stopped working. Service call was quoted at $120 just to show up, plus at least $100 if they recharge it, and more if there's another problem.Using this took me a couple of hours total, including reading and watching some tutorials, but totally worthwhile.It does seem to be somewhat risky, as you could make your unit non-functional or even destroy the compressor if you screw it up too badly. But with some care and understanding, it's definitely do-able by any reasonably handy person.I got a small can of R-134a from a local auto parts shop, and I ended up adding about half the can in very small batches over two days to ensure that I wasn't over-charging. I would add some, and it would have to run for a while to bring the low-side pressure back down around zero.About a month on, the fridge and freezer are working perfectly.

Our 15 yr old fridge's freezer wouldn't go below 30deg after a nine hour power outage. In the end, all I needed was a piercing valve, a hose and a valve to connect the hose to the R134 can. There was no instructions in this kit and after watching every Youtube video I could find, I felt getting the pressure to somewhere around 2lbs would do the trick. I ended up pushing in about 15 ounces before I would get that pressure (using the R134 scale on the gauge) WRONG! It over-pressured the system and the suction line was totally frozen.I ended up renting a vacuum pump (AutoZone) and starting over by putting in 5.75 oz, that was stated inside the fridge. (It took me a while to discover that. DOH!)You don't have to do what I went through. All you need is the piercing valve, a hose to connect to that valve and a valve to connect that hose to the R134 cannister. (this kit has all that... just more parts you don't need). Once you have those parts connected (including clamping the piercing valve properly on the compressor line, I used the suction line), pierce the line, open the cannister valve and bleed out some refrigerant at the piercing valve end ( let it bleed at least three seconds!), tighten the hose and then open the piercing valve to let in one ounce.(put the cannister on a oz scale...dummy)Close the piercing valve. Close the cannister valve. Let the fridge run for an hour or so. Chances are it will help. Get a good thermometer and monitor the temp. 0-5 degrees is about right. If it helps but not enough, add another ounce using the above instructions. (Make sure to bleed some R134 at the piercing valve as to not let any air into the system!)If your fridge is just low on refrigerant and nothing else is wrong, this procedure should help. Though in the end I screwed up and had to pull a vacuum for 40 minutes, our fridge is up and running like new.There is one caveat using this method. Some say the piercing valve can leak. That may be true. But it most likely will be very slow and who cares... If you have to do this every few years, no big deal. Better than buying a new fridge.
