Testo 510

[sav]

Is the above tool any good?

Got an anton apm 150 at the mo thinking of changing it to the testo is it a good upgrade or not?

Cheers

I have them both and use the 510 for burner pressure checks. When I need it for anything above 100mb my 150 is in my bashing bag.
The 510 is a nice little manometer that keeps my service bag light.

Lots of different opinions but me personally think Testo is far superior with most of there equipment

I use both as well, I got the 150 because I test service pipework between 1st and 2nd stage regulators. My 510 is used for burner pressures.

then there's my 120mbr J gauge and my 60mbr water gauge too. Most eventualities covered!

It's very sensitive though as it goes down to 2 decimel points. I swapped for the anton back a while as it's waterproof and I have a habit of leaving it hanging off the meter for a while.

testo is good gear but expensive imho, but its your choice, I use a kane 455 and find it does the lot and annual services are the cheapest around.

 

[Dotty]

Used the testo.

Hate it.

Got an Evo sprint 2.

Hate it.

Give me a 455 any day of the week.

510 is a digital manometer.

I use a tpi, not used any others and it does what it says on the tin. Im happy.

 

[Ermintrude]

Tpi gear is good if your a tool terrorist. Breake and they replace FOC for life

 

[gasmanrob]

if your a tool terrorist.

I think I just let out a little bit of wee whilst laughing

 

[Ermintrude]

Tool terrorism in action. Sorry baby!

I have a broken screen and the service does not want to fix it. ;-( Does anyone have a malfunctioning Testo 510 or somehow spare parts?
