Working with automotive air conditioning is a game of mix and match. Proprietary systems vary across a range of model years and vehicle manufacturers, leaving the discerning mechanic with a lot of room to cover when working with air conditioning systems. When you seek to prepare your shop for a new wave of cars or want to ensure you have full capability for systems of the past, you should consider upgrading your equipment.
One important component of air conditioning equipment is the hose. Without the right size fitting and length, performing air condition recovery can become a hassle or be outright impossible. Luckily, Mechanics Tool Supply carries a variety of hoses for air conditioning work. We sell our hoses in sets according to length, allowing you to blanket your overall capability and adapt your hoses to existing equipment.
Make sure the hoses you purchase can withstand the pressure of the systems you intend to work with. Use our product information to veirfy that the PSI for both working and burst pressure is in accordance with your needs. If you require addtional equipment for air condition recovery, take a look through our other air conditioning related equipment and provide your shop with the tools it needs to succeed.

Diagnosing automotive air conditioning problems has evolved quite a bit in the last two decades. Not long ago, finding a leak within an air conditioning system required manual inspection of hoses and assembly. Removing individual parts and working with dangerous refrigerant and pressure was a less than ideal job for many air condition recovery specialists.
Thanks to advances in technology, air condition recovery has become less of a hassle and a more efficient procedure. A Robinair RO16600 Electronic Leak Detector is one way you can help to streamline your automotive air conditioning diagnosis and reduce the number of parts you must inspect and diagnose during a recovery. Doing so saves you time, and saved time means better service and more time to take on additional work.
Mechanics Tool Supply gives air condition recovery experts the tools they need to get the job done. Working with pressurized systems can be a stressful task, even for the experienced mechanic. Let us provide you with the mechanics tools you need to ease your workload and make the job as painless as possible.
