Matco or Snap On manifold gauges

[FLRover]

I need a good set of R134a gauges for work, I'm getting a ton of A/C work and the A/C machines we have are not very accurate. Both Matco and Snap On have alloy set right around the same price point. Which would you choose? Any first hand expirence?


Thanks!

I'm thinking I wouldn't pay the extra money for a re-brand. I'd buy straight from the OEM.

My 2 cents. When talking A/C tools, nothing but Robinair.

X2 on that!

Robinair is the best you can get in A/C tools.

I have the Matco gauges. I like them. They had some update for the fittings a while back tha I purchased after having an issue with them.

As a 30 yr. refrigeration - ac mechanic, buy yellow jacket my friend. You will not be disappointed.

Imperial is near the top for gauge sets. Yellow Jacket Brutes are also very good.
Course now I'm using these:
