Another use for Xikar Hygrometer

[bmac7754]

So the other day it was extremely hot and I normally drive with the windows down but was bringing my son to work and he had dress clothes on so I decided to fire up the AC.  It wasn't working right so I went to the parts store and bought one of those R-134 kits to charge yourself and didn't have a thermometer so I grabbed a Xikar hygrometer from one of the humidors and it worked just great.  Kit cost $40 took about 10 minutes and saved me just about $100 to have it done at a shop around me.

Very cool.   Thinking I might have to recharge one of my ACs too.

RH is low, you better recharge youre humidifier too.

Necessity being the mother of invention....great idea.  These days it's easy to DIY when it comes to recharging your A/C which I did the other day on my SUV.  Had I taken it in I know it would have cost me over $100 and with P/L that would have kicked it up another $50...so I bought the AC Pro....5 minutes later I'm cool as a cucumber for under $20.

 I used the A/C Pro as well.  I paid $40 to get the one with the gauge and hose, but the next time I do one it only will cost $20 for the canister.  My mom already wants me to do her car.  Worked like a charm.
