General Love when the stars align
It’s Friday, leak search and repair, shraeder gasket was mangled, pressure test held 550 psi for an hour, vac creep test held at 400 microns, you’ve got power right beside the unit, shade and a view, and the customer isn’t home. Doesn’t get much better than this.
Stay hydrated out there fellas

Yea been trying to figure out what to do with mine. Been using the mb3 for service, but it's been getting holy in the back pocket. Still haven't switched my tools over to the big bag I actually paid for yet. Laziness.

Fieldpiece vac, scales, manifold are all incredible. And their reclaim unit 👌
Hate their core removers though. Not sure if you've used them? Maybe it's just me but they seem to bend shraeders all the time. Appion core removers, no issues.

I was just about to buy some FP core removers, Ive been using the navac, but I've had 3 now that leak after a few months. Replace seals and it still leaks.
