The way most stores do their loaner tool program is that you actually pay full price for the tool, and then get the money refunded when you bring it back. I've never heard of one pulling 'new' tools off the shelf, loaning them out, and then putting them back on the shelf as new. If I were you I'd contact their corprate office and let them know what was going on.
The fittings on all guage sets, and hose ends, are the same, regardless of what refrigerant your testing. The only thing you need to get for your set are the adapters that fit hoses and the R134A fittings on your vehicle, and they aren't usually that expensive. That said if you were just putting a little bit in, why not just use the el-cheapo low side hose that you can buy for a few bucks, or comes with the cans of DIY refrigerant. Personally I've got all the 'right stuff' to do the job also, but I keep it all in a Jobox that I set on the truck when I know I've got an A/C job to do. That hasn't kept me from being asked to put a little in a system, by a customer who knows I do that type of thing, when I don't have all my tools with me. In that case I keep one of the el-cheapo's on the truck just for those times. As long as you know about what low side pressure you should be running they do the job just as good as a full set of guages will.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
