Tools you cannot depend on do not belong in my van, toolbag or home. Nothing beats JB, YJ, FP and Appion. Navac and Milwaukee are cool too, but I'd go JB if it was my money everytime. Had JB pumps run for weeks non stop pulling centrifugals down over the winter. Change the oil, turn it on and forget about it. My YJ 8CFM is okay too, but I much prefer the oil drain and fill on a JB plus they are 100% field serviceable.
What do you expect from the Chinese 😮
you have to put a fan in front of it so that it doesnt overheat. The chinese pumps get hot and have a limited duty cycle. If you want to run it for 40 minutes in the summer (which is probably when you dont have ac or others dont have ac and they are sweating enough to finally get it fixed) it will overheat the thermistor. If i had a high end Robinair brand i would still not want it to get hot because that would shorten its lifespan.
Thank you for showing what happens with this level of equipment in real world applications. I'm sure there's a place somewhere for lower grade pumps but the one you demonstrated seems to not even be applicable to those situations. I bought the Fieldpiece as well for my own use and it seems great!
Well I DO think appearance (not mine!) is important if you have contact with the public/customers which thankfully for all... I DONT... hah.... SFMF
As another UA-camr says... Cheap Chineseum...
I bought one for a backup and it did the same thing, Tried to return and they wanted a video of it failing. total waste of money
Years ago I was employed at a company and one of the products were vacuum chambers. A guy that tested them pulled a vacuum on one and left it pulling down over the weekend unbeknownst to everybody else and sometime before Monday the power went off. That little vacuum chamber pulled oil back up from the pump and coated the inside of that chamber. I don't remember the brand of pump but it was before the Chinese import days. Thanks for the interesting video! 👍🇺🇸
I've had reasonable luck with these. Have two - I used one I got for like $55 on Amazon to pull vacuum on a Rheem I installed DIY on my house. Worked just fine, and pulled down to about 315 microns on that 2.5 ton system. Installed a 2 ton for the upstairs and pulled that down to less than 230 microns. Probably not nearly as fast as a pump designed for techs doing this every day, but for my purposes it worked just fine. Did the triple evac/N2 purge to make sure I got everything in there, purged the lineset first with methanol then acetone as I think I had a burnout on the previous unit (a Goodman, and swapped out the FD that came with the unit with a Sporlan HH just in case). But got it down to a pretty hard vacuum with a similar little Chinese vane pump.
Probably designed for short cycle automotive use. I could see it doing fairly good in that application. Thanks for showing this! Real world tools and their performance
Great video! Any chance of a teardown or autopsy? I'd certainly be interested.
I used one of these to pull a vac on my dad's mini split. It was very hot after 30 minutes, but did pull a vaccum to less then 200 microns. I would also not recommend because I doubt it would reliably last for multiple jobs.
I think that same company makes those '' Balloons '' that was flying over the U.S . this week 🤣😅😂 Good demo Curt ...
I bought one of these a few years ago, after I retired, and have used it a few times. It pulled a good vacuum and ran more than 4 hours straight. Mine pulled down below 500 microns.
Curtis, I really appreciate you using Quality tools in your business! Veto , Yellow Jacket and other great brands. I try to buy used name band tools at good prices to save money. I do like the brand Vevor too. Thanks for taking the time to do this! Always enjoy tool reviews. This makes me think when you were pulling a vacuum with a pretty new Schrader removal tool. Not to successful. Oh thanks!
I almost said yes to this exact one 😂 been busy so thankfully I saw your video before getting back to them 😅 good video 👍🏽
The vacuum pump I have cost me about that price and still works good. It is 6 cfm. But I bought it at least 40 years ago, it is a Robinair
Interesting, ive got a vacuum pump that was like $40-50 off amazon, had it for about 5 years, neglected it since i still have yet to change the oil in it, N it still runs like a beast pulling systems down under 100microns. Also have a elitech brand touchscreen vac pump that was about $500 when i got it, had it for about 2-3 years and its a beast as well
