When you're elbow-deep in an HVAC system on a sweltering day, you don't have time to second-guess your tools. You need reliability. You need innovation. You need Yellow Jacket.

At JB Tools, we carry a wide range of Yellow Jacket products because we believe every technician deserves tools built with precision, performance, and pride. Whether you're servicing automotive A/C systems or managing complex HVAC units, Yellow Jacket tools help you get the job done efficiently—and done right the first time.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this brand an industry favorite, and spotlight three standout products every pro should know about.

Built on Innovation, Backed by Legacy

Yellow Jacket isn’t just another brand on the shelf. It's a name that has carried weight in the HVAC/R world for over 75 years. Founded in 1949, Yellow Jacket began with a vision to create durable and trustworthy tools for refrigeration professionals. That commitment to quality has only grown over the decades.

What sets Yellow Jacket apart?

  • Made in the USA manufacturing standards

  • Focus on precision engineering and product testing

  • Deep understanding of real-world jobsite needs

  • Continuous innovation to support evolving HVAC technologies

Their tools aren't just designed to meet expectations—they're made to exceed them. It’s why JB Tools is proud to offer a wide selection of Yellow Jacket products to our customers.

Flex and Flow Like a Pro

If you’ve ever wrestled with standard charging hoses, you know how important flexibility and control are. That’s why the Yellow Jacket 29980 FlexFlow Hose Set is such a game-changer.

Why it stands out:

  • Low-loss design that helps prevent refrigerant waste

  • 360-degree ball valve rotation for maximum positioning and access

  • High-pressure tolerance, rated for R-410A and other common refrigerants

  • Comes in a convenient 3-pack of 9" hoses, color-coded for easy use

These hoses are ideal for tight spaces where rigid connectors just won’t cut it. With FlexFlow, you get the freedom to maneuver while keeping your setup leak-free and efficient. It’s one of our most trusted hose sets—and once you use it, you’ll see why.
