I use a CPS BlackMax set for 410a on almost every call - I think I paid about 65.00, came with the hoses with the ball valves at the service end and has temp scales for 410, 22 and others on the dials.

I also have a YellowJacket 410 manifold, a Robinair R22 manifold (which I do NOT recommend) and another YellowJacket R22 manifold with short hoses that I use for Ice Machines. But I like the CPS set the best for service

I picked a set up at an appliance parts store for 45 dollars. Decently made and accurate. (Higher priced ones usually have low loss fittings and longer hoses). Nice to have a spare set.
