In 1960 the company name was formally changed to TIFT Instruments, Inc. and the new independent business was founded upon the concept of bringing new and innovative service test instruments to the trade. Over the past 40+ years TIFT grew through the support of professional technicians worldwide and has become the recognized leader in both electronic refrigerant leak detection and refrigerant measuring devices. In 1955, the companys first product, the VA105 Volume-AireT air balancer was invented, and is still available today in only a slightly modified form. In 1964 the worlds first portable electronic refrigerant leak detector, the Tif-TectorT was invented and launched. While Neil Armstrong walked on the moon in 1969, TIFT launched the Tic-TracerT family of non-contact voltage detectors, revolutionizing safe electrical testing. Throughout the following three decades TIFT invented and patented more than 30 technologies and products including Negative Corona leak detectors, digital clamp-on ammeters, the electronic sightlass, pulsed load battery testers, 4-Way aluminum block manifold gauge sets, slim-lineSM refrigerant charging meters and, in 2001 the Heated PentodeT refrigerant sensor and TIF ZX-1 leak detector.
