The story

Why this exists.

Tired of using calipers or a ruler to find out what size your refrigerant pipe is? Enter the VRF Pipe Thing.

It snaps into place on refrigerant piping, speeding up identification of the piping and taking all guesswork out of the equation.

These are 3d printed in the USA using PCTG filament manufactured in the USA.

Tools that work.
Or I make it right.

Tools need to work right every time. If one of mine breaks, send me a picture and tell me how — I'll replace it, and I'll use what went wrong to make the next batch better.

01
Made in the USA
Everything is designed by me. All 3D-printed parts are made in-house with USA-made filament.
02
Right to Repair
Replacement parts will always be available. If I ever stop making a product, I'll open-source the design files.
03
Print your own parts
STL / STEP files for printed enclosures available on request. Customize, repair, reprint — go nuts.
04
Built on feedback
I take ideas seriously and refine designs constantly. Send me an idea for a Thing that would make your job easier.
