    Portable tire inflator suggestions

    I have a Ridgid 18V portable. I did a video on it and so far I am very impressed. I also have a VIAIR 88P Portable Air Compressor which I like also but I have used my Ridgid more, the Ridgid can be used with the 18V battery or connected to the vehicle battery with the included cable.

    For the people with lathe's.

    So a few years ago I built this Tailstock tap and die holder and it is the best addition to my lathe I have ever made. It is easy to make and it is so handy I use it even if I only have one part to thread.

    Best *Reasonably Priced* Ratchets

    For the price the HF composite ratchets are good, The HF swivel head ratchets are also good. For the price and lifetime warranty, HF is hard to beat nowadays in my opinion. HF is like Sears used to be with craftsman. If you do break it they will warranty it no questions asked.

    Who Else Has Milwaukee Small Blower?

    I bought an EGO 580CFM 168MPH blower about a week ago and love it. I had an ECHO gas blower and loved it until I got my cordless blower. The EGO is more powerful than my ECHO gas blower and no more mixing gas, pull starting or the noise. I actually did a quick review of it on youtube.
