Pressure-Vacuum Pump
« on: November 08, 2013, 01:58:44 pm »
I'm looking for a pressure/vacuum test pump.  Power Probe makes one. But it is ovrr $2OO.  There is a Matco unit for about $100 that looks like it will do the job...model MVP 5000.  Anyone have experience with these or have an alternative suggestion?    Thanks

This is what many people use on chainsaws

Thanks, Guys.  I don't know how I missed that thread.  I figured there would be one over here in the Tool Shed.  Just flat out missed it.  Thanks for the information.

I use the MV8500 myself. It does both Vacuum and Pressure without having to change your setup.

Yes, the one I have is the 8500 that does both pressure and vacuum.

I also have one of the Plastic MityVacs that is considered to be vacuum only but it will also do pressure up to 12 lbs but you have to add a pressure gauge for it be useful. I use a automotive combination pressure vacuum gauge tee'd into the line.
