Appion MGAVCT 1/4 MegaFlow Vacuum-Rated Valve Core Removal Tool

This little thing helped me get a vacuum down to 200 microns. I would recommend you keep the Schrader IN the tool when you take it out before the process. Just makes it easier

For the cost of the product I should not be responsible to adjust the width of the jaws to properly engage a Schrader core. In all other respects it is a very high quality and enjoyable product, but when I think about it, its unacceptable that I should have to make any adjustments whatsoever considering Schrader cores are a universal standard across multiple platforms. As an industry professional, this nuisance is BS

This is much easier to use than the Yellow Jacket tool because I can feel whats going on inside when I remove the valve core. In vacuum I havent had a problem with either one, using a T/C gauge. The tip does tend to grab the valve core and pull it through the body of the tool, although this can occasionally take a few tries. Also on the Yellow Jacket, the captive nut can come off.

As said, the best Ive ever used, including the more expensive brand. I have five. Three are for when you need The Big Three and two from others, verifiable as unused, from others, as back up, to which Ive never needed to do. I have done rebuilds on some, but on a maintenance schedule. As with planes, flight/usage time is not usually a convenient time.

Keeps refrigerant to a low loss. That’s it that’s the review

Great quality I use mine daily

I got two, makes my job a lot easier when recovering/pulling vacuums and charging units and I can definitely feel the quality at work when dealing with some of the troublesome Schrader valves.

Some people use three of these. They are pricey so I started with just one. I love it. maybe someday I will buy one or two more but for now. I love the one I have.

As advertised. Good quality. Seems to be overpriced.

Severely disappointed with this purchase! Have yet to be able to remove a core with it. When micron gauge is connected it will not pull down below 1100 (multiple attempts) but taking my gauge off the appion and putting it on my C&D it pulled down and held at 306 for decay test. And to top it off....I was evacuating a system today, shut the valve on the appion and disconnected my hose to insert valve stem and heard hissing. Put my finger over the end of the appion and low and behold...the vacuum was sucking air back into the system through this POS! Too late to return. FML and my 50$ smh
