Tools & Fabrication - a/c manifold gauge set

which a/c manifold gauge set. I have an old no name set that i have been using for a long time. It is way past time to replace it. So which a/c manifold gauge set do you guys use. I fix cars for a living so i need something that will stand the test of time. snap on, mastercool, Robinair, yellow jacket are just some that im looking at. all these manufactures have several different once for different prices which one do i get?

what about this one:

Robinair and yellow jacket make a/c stuff. Snap-on is a great brand but they dont specialize in a/c. I would get the yellow jackets. Most good manifolds are going to be within $10-$15 of each other anyways.

is see prices from $125-$325 for yellow jacket manifold gauge sets. They all look relatively the same to me. Which one should I buy. Anyone on here use their A/C gauge set for a living and can give me a recommendation (model number, where to buy it, etc...)

anyone else have any opinions on a c manifold gauges

I recently found a set of new Robinair gauges and a NAPA 3 cfm vacuum pump on CL- paid $100 for both :). I just work on cars as a hobby so the only other gauge set I can compare them to is the cheap Harbor Freight crap. They worked fine and seem to be built very well but I haven't had them long. A mechanic friend of mine said Robinair or Yellow Jacket was all he would use.

that set looks nice... so I decided im going yellow jacket, i just need to find a set that comes in a case (i hate loose diagnostic tools). anyone ever spent the money on the digital ones. I see yellow jacket makes a digital one, worth the money? yes/no?

just to follow up i ended up buying the Master cool Electronic ac manifold gauge with the 72" hoses. I will post up after it arrives and let ya'll know what i think.
