Knockoff of Astro Pneumatic?

Well-known member
Cannot comment on this brand, but...
This JACO FlowPro Digital Tire Inflator with Pressure Gauge - 200 PSI has really held up well for me and I store it in the garage.
Currently about $38 but there is a 10% off right now, but still way more expensive than the one listed above.
Wish I had bought it sooner, bought it September last year. Works so much better than anything I have had.
I wouldn’t call it a knock off. AstroAI is a separate company I believe. Lots of Astro’s out there. I have a couple of their other products. I really like their foam cannon. I don’t believe Astro pneumatic manufacturers tire gauges, but I could be wrong.
Love those Jaco inflators.. I have a couple and have had several friends buy them. Accurate, easy to use, hold up to moderate abuse.
This dropped again to an all time low. Given what the 2 batteries are worth, the tool is basically free!

I like mag drills and own a few, including two corded DW models. They're not cheap tools.
However, it's not uncommon to find DCB609-2 for <$300.
On top of that, this has a permanent magnet base. That's great that it functions without current, but that also means that when you're trying to drill a hole in *exactly* the right spot it's a lot harder to line it up than it is with a model where you just hit a switch to energize the base.
So first, my comment was intended as a joke. I'm not actually suggesting this kit is the same price as just the batteries.
That said, this kit doesn't come the DCB609-2, but with the DCB609G which is more expensive and harder to find.
Also, while the listed mag drill does have a "permanent" magnet, it still uses a switch to "activate" the magnet. You can still move the drill into position, then flip the lever to lock it down. In fact, it has a secondary position on the lever that engages first that only applies 15% of the total holding power so it can keep the base somewhat firmly attached, but still allow for some fine adjustment before locking it down all the way. I have the Fein Versamag drill press vise with the same feature and it works great.
Perhaps even better is the Hougen design where you can lock the mag base and still perform fine adjustment because the cutting head moves relative to the base, then you throw a locking lever to lock it tight. I have the Hmd904s with this feature.
This Dewalt also has some other nice features. First of all, it's cordless (obviously) which isn't necessary for many, but could be really convenient for some.
It also has a 2 speed mechanical gearbox and 5 selectable speeds in each of the two gears for a total of 10 speed options. My Hougen only has a single speed! The Dewalt also has reverse which theoretically allows for tapping.
Anyhow, I'm not trying to convince anyone this is a "better" option than a corded model, and it's certainly a specialty tool, but at about half of the debut price, and when kitted with two really nice batteries, it seemed like a deal for someone in the market.
SOLD!!!
Just kidding, I have neither the need nor the budget for that tool, but it sure sounds like a cool piece of gear.

Anyone know of a vacuum that runs off USB-C?

USB is used for charging vacuum cleaner batteries. USB-C EPR is able to switch voltage up to 48V, but has 5A output limit for any voltage.
I don't think Dyson has 48V battery models to harvest the full potential of EPR, but their V10 model uses 25.2V battery. So since the EPR current is limited by 5 Amp, it will be 126W.
For a 48V battery it would be 240W (considering the same 5A limit).

Needed some set screws and this is a better deal than most things local:
Just got these and GAAHHH what a mess. The sorting box has a flimsy cover and while it all made it in one piece, it didn't keep screws in place so you'll spend hours sorting. Do yourself a favor and look for some w/improved box (usually w/dividers blow molded on the cover). They were all going into a tackle box anyway but I was not expecting to have to sort through them. It's the little things as they say.
Tip: if you want to order, order a metric and SAE set separately to make your life easier.

there's quite a few handhelds that charge with USB but I think this just means it can deliver the amperage for larger batts/units.Anyone know of a vacuum that runs off USB-C?

If you noodle around, there are stainless available as well. Similar price.
link them. I saw some but not in same quantities
Here's the 304 stainless version of the set screws above same sizes and 525 for quantity for $9.99

lol, it was the same ad too, just one click away. I'm dumb
This digital tire pressure gauge did very well in Project Farm's test a while back. Can't beat it for under $10!

I bought two of the black ones and then spotted the orange ones. I initially wanted orange but couldn't find them "cheap", now I'm wondering if I should get them anyway because they're a good price and they look a little more "shop" than some of my white ones.
It was too cheap to pass up! Less than $2 each!

oops. Almost missed those. I thought they were $16 each.
price drop on these. I received them, the grind could be better but serviceable tools none the less:Picked up crimp tool. Here's another pair of those pliers for a buck less & some other shapes that appear to work on fuel lines too:

Someone posted these back in Feb ($9.49) at the time. They arrived with all the screws in place where they should be.
I’ve gotten a bunch of kits like this from Amazon Vine. The plastic cases are broken on arrival 50+% of the time. Most of the time the small bits are also separated in plastic, so not a huge deal.
maybe my mailman hates me and gave it an extra shake. It probably wouldn't be too bad if you ordered one metric & one SAE and not combine them as in this set.
edit: sorry, just realized this was a different vendor/ad & box. I think the extra depth in that box makes it less flex prone and per video review, they had a layer of bubble wrap on top of the partitions. Yeah, go w/this one if it hits the price point.
only one set of screws was bagged inside the box unfortunately. Box is physically ok, just the lid is thin plastic so flexes easy allowing the screws to slide past the partitions.

If they’re all mixed together, There is eternal hope that there’s one more of that one you need. You just need to look a little harder. Like my big bucket of assorted fasteners.
Wait, you only have ONE big bucket of fasteners???!
This morning at Walmart I bought a 4-pk of Energizer AA lithium batteries for $14.84. A few hours later I saw this deal for an 8-pk.
