Ever consider the possibility they approached USA manufacturers but couldn’t come to acceptable terms?

Agreed. I work on Japanese motorcycles and they are the best on those. My Wiha screwdrivers work great, too, but I reach for the Vessel first every time.

Does nobody just rebuild them when they leak? Aren’t replacement o-rings available for most brands?

I need some new 18v batteries. Are we anticipating Black Friday deals on the current crop of batteries?

In typical Garage Journal fashion comes the recommendation to throw $5,000 at a $500 problem. :lol: Seriously though, I appreciate all the replies, even the ludicrous ones. I think the 26 ga Fortress will suit me fine. I'm sure the other suggestions would be fine as well but Harbor Freight is...

Thank you. I’ll take a look at that California Air Tools compressor.

I did, went back many pages and didn’t see anything. I’ll keep poking around.

I have a Mityvac. With my current compressor it pulls fluid about 2 seconds before running out of air.

I'm hoping to get a recommendation for an air compressor for home use. I've been getting by with a Senco 1-gallon that is really great, but just can't keep up with my modest needs. My typical uses are: * filling tires up to 37" dia on a 17" wheel * running a vacuum brake bleeder * blowing out...

I have an Intercomp as well. Functionally, its great; but the gauge face has clouded pretty badly, something I don't think should have happened at that price point. The rubber protector around it split, too, but that was as easy fix with a little glue.

Thanks for the info. I need to get off my *** and have it weighed.

I find them quite useful working on motorcycles.

From what era? Depending on the year of the bike it could be JIS, ISO or DIN.

Hey man, I have an Africa Twin and a dog named Remington, too. My Remi is a tri-color Aussie!

Nice!
