Well, I made a side-tapper out of a regular R12 tap, a coathanger, and two vise-grips. (Cut coathanger wire to length and twist two loops on the ends, and use the vise grips to clamp the loops together thus trapping the can tap against the can. One on each side. There, now it won't go anywhere and you pierce the can and then charge. Later I made a much more convenient tap out of a camp stove that mates with the test refrigerant can.) The rest of the equipment was pretty normal, in procurement and use.
