HVAC - Magnet Mount Micron Gauge

DO NOT TRY THIS ON YOUR OWN TOOLS! I've been meaning to do this for quite a while. I'm not worried about voiding the manufacturer's warranty. This 'fix' is for my own convenience.

Love the pump do you have a dial a charge too. To think Dr brags about his tool pouch

@topdoozie1 Doc has some cool tools. I thought about buying a dial-a-charge, but it's kinda bulky. I bought the Fieldpiece wireless refrigerant scale. Heck, I own a lot of HVAC service and installation tools. The old Welch is a great jobsite conversation piece.

Cool. I'm gonna upgrade my CPS scale... it's got a magnet, but it don't work worth a crap. Time to dig through the old computer junk.

@FilterChanger It might be cheaper to adapt a neodymium magnet in place of the old one.

Great Vac pump, Good Idea with that Gauge too, Makes your Job easier

@HDXFH I love the ole girl. She's my first (vacuum pump). She's powerful enough to suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. The antique vac pump has received more interest than the micron gauge. Attaching a magnet to the gauge was just a matter of convenience for me.

@PutSome5tankOnIt That's what I meant. The scale works fine, but the magnet wont hold the display. I just wish there was a way to get the(hard drive) magnet off the metal bracket without breaking it.

@PutSome5tankOnIt It is cool. I like the old stuff.
