I watched the vacuum webinar on the Cornell Coop. Site. They showed one of these Robinair vacuum pumps and stated they can handle 200-300 taps. I looked on ebay to research there specs further. They are used to evacuate air conditioning systems. They are a 2 stage vane pump. The one shown on the webinar is 6 cfm 1/2 H.P. motor. Has anyone on the Trader tried one of these. They also showed a smaller 12 volt DC pump and stated it would handle 70 taps. Here's the webinar link...click on the vacuum webinar.

I am guessing that is they must work could I don't think a college would say that if it wasn't true but that's just my 2 cents

Yeah, I was hoping to hear from someone on the trader that had tired one to find out how well it worked or not. Thanks for your 2 cents though. What? Just a number for a name?
