IMPORTANT.... Watch the triple evacuation video on Youtube from HVAC Tips guy ... I used his simple setup with two Appion Core removal tools. I did lose an hour wondering why no vacuum then I found and removed a "3rd" schrader valve, one was in the 5/8 Appion core removal tool, one in the 1/4" Appion core removal tool, in addition to the schrader inside the minisplit port. Once all three were gone, the vacuum sucked down fast. VERY HAPPY with the tool.
BTW, if you're wondering what a schrader valve is, it's the same little screw in tiny valve that holds air in your tires. It works one way. No mystery to that thing. Those Appion core removal tools worked great.
Had a central ac condenser with a leaking valve core. Watched a few videos and one specifically by this parts manufacturer, Appion. Please watch their video first, then start practice seating replacement valve core into the tool to understand how it feels and holds. You do not want any potential for the valve core to fall off in the process so the "fork" on the end of the removal tool may have to be spread or snugged SLIGHTLY to hold the core tight. If so, use a pair of pliers to GENTLY do so. This adjustment is so minor you won't be able to see a difference - but you will feel it when inserting the valve core.
Once comfortable with your skill fitting the tool, you'll need to fit the removal tool to the leaking valve core just as you practices with the new one. Once you are confident it will hold snuggly, re-assemble tool and you can start the repair.
Peace

Note that if your micron gauge doesn't tolerate pressure you'll need something like a YJ 69067 ball valve to isolate it before you start adding refrigerant. (I think I've read the YJ 69075 doesn't like more than a few PSI)
From the moment you get the recloseable clamshell packaging, everything about this tool feels like quality. All metal, great weight and feel, and really nice knurling. It comes with two spare o-rings, and instructions for buying a rebuild kit and parts should you ever need it. Packaging says "Parts and products made in Taiwan, USA, EU, and South America". The only thing that could improve this tool would be if it said "Made in USA" on it.
