4-In-1 ball valve tool is perfect for vacuum, charge, cores and recovery. Remove and replace Schrader cores without losing charge.

Review: Works as intended, high quality - I have used other similar core tools that looked the same, but only lasted a year, because the rubber seals inside become deformed, cracked, corroded. The Yellow Jacket version is much tougher, not only in the rubber components but also the metal fittings. The ones I received had the vacuum port on the side, same quality as the rest of the piece, cap and leash are also high quality, plastic. This is one tool I'm glad I spent the extra money instead of getting something that looks as good, this piece is a much higher build quality and has already lasted longer than my other, similar, core tools.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT FOR REPLACING LEAKY VALVE CORES!!!
*by S***1 on July 22, 2014*

Used to change both leaking service port valve cores on my condensing unit. Obviously, since you can only feel what you're doing when unscrewing the valve cores, it takes some feel and can be tricky to get them to come out the first try, especially if the pin in the middle is bent. I found it is best to make sure the pin is straight and the core tool can catch a hold of it before you screw the device to the service port. So what if it takes a few tries, it's way better than the alternative!!! This tool seems very well made and looks like it will last a long time.
