Hi Bryan, they are identical to NAVAC, the only reason we couldn't use the name NAVAC in the UK is its too close to JAVAC and would infringe their copyright/trademark as NAVAC and JAVAC are only one letter apart. This meant we had to rename it NAVTEK here in the UK. Hope this explains why the different names.
@@fswuk7714 thank you for clearing that up. They are fantastic tools. Although the companies background is a bit confusing, they say theyve been a global leader in vac pumps and hvacr tools for 30 years but yet NAVAC was founded in 2018 it says, maybe they used to be under a different name? They also look identical to a brand called Value. I wonder if thats what they call there tools in other countries. Its confusing but I still love the tools and pumps
@@bryanswanson5007 Hi Bryan, NAVAC/NAVTEK are made by World Value in China, or Value as we know them. Value are the largest vacuum pump and recovery machine manufacturer in the world, so yes you will see some products under the Value banner that you won't see under NAVAC or NAVTEK name and many other NAVAC Products that are also made with the Value name on them, these are identical products. Value are Black and Blue, NAVTEK are Black and Orange, otherwise they are Identical, That is where the 30 Years of manufacturing comes from.
Great video Robin, when do we get to see the Navtek flaring tool in action?
Is this the same company as NAVAC? Or are these knock offs? Cant find any info on if these companies are the same or not.
