Rolson seems one of the worst brands sold here, keep thinking of getting a set of spanner to see how easy they break!

How low will it go with the gauge just on the pump? Might need a few oil changes to clean the pump out. Get the oil nice and hot before draining.

With the indoor wall bracket, there should be one screw hole centrally at the top, hang the bracket on this first and use a level to make sure the bracket is level, then mark out where you want to put the fixings. If you just go off the ceiling with the cardboard template its possible the...

Gedore make some nice carts, have a look at them before deciding.

I'd go with the black arrow wall, but down nearer the car a bit so that if you're working at the bench you are not in a cold or hot draft, you should be able to run the pipework out of the left hand side of the indoor unit, get some small line set cover/trunking and then drill through in the...

This is what i use, though i have three mapp air torches too for smaller pipes, they make double and tripple burner ones for bigger jobs.

Looks the same as this Rolson set i got for £5 or so,

I've done similar in the past but with electrical tape wound sticky side out, holds the nut on a stick till you get it started on the thread.

I've never seen one with etched markings, they have all been cast into the handle, also the jaws usually have a smooth surface with the mm makings and a lower cast surface.

Get the right battery and fit it. Not worth saving a few $$ if your car then catches fire.

The pressures are about 2 or 3 times higher in residential ac than automotive. Plus the rubber lines leak as the material is permeable. So it is probably not a good idea.

You can't switch two lives with a single pole switch. Think of your switch as a 'Y' with common at the bottom, nc on the left and no on the right, power comes in the bottom and goes the the normally closed contact on the left. Push the button and power is switched instead to the right normally...

The voltage rating is just the maximum the capacitor should be connected to, not the volts it puts out.

I'd prefer it in yellow, or another brighter colour, the drawers and top would suit the sort of stuff i would want to put in it but i am not a mechanic working on cars.

If you have not done so, change the oil in the vac pump, they need regular oil changes to be able to pull low vacuums as the oil gets contaminated with moisture over time and use. Also check all the rubber gaskets in the gauge lines or adapters, they are another favorite for causing poor pump...

I have used them on these, though in this case i made do with a ring spanner to hold the bolt head. I have a 7/16 crow foot and long extension for doing these but don't keep them on the truck now, used to change one or two a week but can go six months now without seeing one. This is on a 500...

Years ago it was common to do a triple vac when the vacuum pumps were poor. (The vacuum would need to be broken with refrigerant to make it worthwhile, though in many places this would be illegal to do now if you were going to vac it again) The idea is say the first vac gets down to 5% air left...

I'd also say capacitor is favorite, Oil level ok? maybe the motor is failing.

Nokink? not seen them here. If you have just a small kink in the pipe, clamp a flaring block round it, it will round it out again. Redo the factory flares, i have heard they give trouble.

Two stage pump. If you went with the single stage the micron gauge would be pointless as it would never get a low enough vacuum. Don't like the sound of leak preventer, nylog is basically sticky refrigeration oil, so will not do any harm to the system if used sparingly.
