Description
Overview:
The Maypole Antifreeze and Coolant Tester - Hot and Cold Use (MPN 427656) is a handheld diagnostic tool for checking antifreeze strength and coolant condition across a wide temperature range. Built with a clear, durable plastic body and an easy-to-read indicator, it provides fast guidance on freeze protection and fluid health without the need for power or complex set-up. A dual-scale thermometer shows readings in Celsius and Fahrenheit, helping you assess fluid temperature as you test. Suitable for passenger cars, vans, 4x4s, light plant, generators, ride‐on mowers, and other water‐cooled engines, it is compatible with methanol-based antifreeze solutions. Designed for regular workshop use, roadside checks, and maintenance routines, it supports accurate decisions about topping up, diluting, or replacing coolant to protect engines year-round.
Key Features:
- Hot and cold testing for reliable results across real-world conditions
- Clear indicator for quick, readable results at a glance
- Dual temperature display in Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) for flexible use
- Compatible with methanol-based antifreeze solutions used in general applications
- Robust plastic construction for workshop environments and mobile service work
- Simple, single-person operation with minimal training required
- No batteries or electronics, reducing failure points and ongoing costs
- Compact form for toolboxes and glove compartments; easy to clean after use
- Supports decision-making on coolant concentration, winter readiness, and overheating prevention
- Suitable for petrol and diesel engines in automotive, garden, and light construction equipment
Typical Applications:
Routine checks during services, winter preparation, and pre-trip inspections. Verifying antifreeze strength after coolant top-ups or dilution. Assessing coolant condition on cars, vans, small plant, tractors, generators, and ride‐on mowers. Useful for diagnosing potential overheating or freeze-risk issues before they cause damage.
Also known as:
Radiator antifreeze tester, coolant strength tester, freeze-point tester, hydrometer coolant tester, radiator fluid tester, coolant concentration tester, engine coolant checker, cooling system antifreeze gauge.
