I'm trying to find recommendations for a gauge set that will work with 134A (old cans), 134A (newer self sealing can) and R1234YF for a reasonable price but has some quality.
Any pointers?
Amazon lists 1 by Orion Tech but it's got 9% 1 star rating.

I've had the set from HF for over 15 years and have had no issues. You just get the different adapters for want type of can you're using. Have topped off many systems and started from 0 on others. A vacuum pump makes all the difference when starting at 0!

+1 on @Topzide wrote. The HF set works well, (I have had mine even longer), and a vacuum pump is essential for drying out 0psi systems.

All the best,

Peter

Are there any recommendations for adapters for R1234YF for the HF unit?

The hoses on the HF unit are standard thread for a/c hoses. Haven't used that type of freon, so I can't help with that one.

Sorry. I haven't used that Freon, but I have been happy with the Boltigen products elsewhere.

All the best,
