A: It refers to mechanisms in the gauge valve or internals that reduce needle oscillation when pressure changes, leading to more stable and readable measurements.
Q: Are the hoses safe for prolonged use?
A: Yes, the hoses included are non-permeating, black in color to hide grease or grime, and fitted with manual couplers for secure and reliable connections.
Q: Why include a collector’s tin case?
A: The tin case protects the tools during transport or storage, preserves the chrome finish, and adds a polished presentation for technicians who value tool appearance alongside performance.
