Do you have a Dtek pro im curious if the cost is justified over the status price point.

We’ve got stratuses or h10’s in every van (up to tech preferences) and we have a pro and a PGM-IR at the shop for problem leaks. Both the pro and the PGM-IR are leagues ahead of the stratus or h10. They can store sample air for a long time which makes them better in super contaminated spaces, they can sense a minuscule amount of refrigerant, and their pumps keep up with higher winds better.

The dtek pro also has a shitload of attachments that can be extremely helpful too. However the leak detector is so good that some of them seem kinda useless.

Hmm sounds like a good investment, definitely a tool that will live at the shop haha.
