Picked up this Milton Digital Inflation brand new sealed in package for 1/2 of retail price from marketplace.
I've been wanting a high quality digital inflator for years.
I'd like to replace the chuck with a lock on style, thinking about the Locknflate but the price is steep($70CAD) which is more than I paid for the inflator. Is their a lower price option that actually works well?
It's better than the locnflate too, imo. Swivels 360 degrees so you can inflate dually wheels or anything with a valve stem that doesn't point forward like a car tire.

My pliers are the exact same way. There’s a bit of play from side to side which makes me think that is why mine aren’t aligning correctly when closed. My Klein pliers are the same way, having play on the rivet. True to form, all of my NWS, Gedore, and Knipex pliers are just about perfect.I’m a little miffed but happier than I was…. Come on snap on do better. If your going to consider something precision be precise
New replacements….
The old ones were 2x as bad
These don’t have a lot of play in them as much as the teeth don’t line up in the talon grip tip. When they are lined up and shut is when the misalignment occurs. I could fix that and just grind the tips flush on my 2x72 knife grinder with a fine belt, but I don’t feel that should be my responsibility when they advertise a precision tip. Then again I could be expecting to much
I've been acquiring a bunch of tools, need to get them together for a photo op.
BTW, is it just me, or has it been like a month since we've had a @BlakeTheCarGuy sighting? You know, with a single socket showcased by his denim-clad self???

Yep! That’s the winner, ordered. This will work better on motorcycle and bike tires too.

What $30 got me at a local antique mall/indoor flea market.
The tools as a lot were $20.
The big saw is a Disston.
The medallion, I think dates it to the '40s.
Craftsman 187.37051 Block Plane (same as Stanley 220). Needs a knob and a full rework.
NAPA USA (curious who made these) SAE and Metric nut drivers; plus a Stanley USA 3/4 wrench.
SOG (Seki, Japan) Vulcan--$10. Was very dirty, had a lot of rust spots on the blade, and a pretty badly bent clip. Cleaned it up, sharpened it, straightened and swapped the clip over for left-hand use. These were $100+ new.
It is VERY smooth, even when it was dirty.
Matchbox Jaguar XJ6 (made in Macau, '87-90-ish) and Corgi Healer Wheeler "Jokermobile" (Made in England, '70s-ish). 50 cents each.

As requested lol. Got this Duralast flex spark plug socket at Auto Zone. Guy at work who used to be a Honda tech told me this would make changing my brother in laws spark plugs in his 2015 Odyssey much easier and so it was an excuse to get a new tool so why not lol .cody1325

The Ariens push mower (headed back to Lowes on warranty a SECOND time) has the spark plug at a weird angle, and it's also 5/8. It's a PITA with my SK spark plug socket, but this might help with working on the thing.

This is the metric half of a 92 pc Craftsman master wrench set.
Got a real good deal on the whole set for $120! And they're new and unused.
Not as well finished as my Ampro or SA and German forged Gedores but still damn decent for the money and almost no skips from 4mm to 32mm ( 29 and 31 are skipped only ).
Made in India

Geez, that's something I would have circled in the Sears Wishbook decades ago.
I'd give you a "You ****" just for sentimental reasons.

Picked up these wrenches. Not for me though. Got them for my coworker Danny boy because he just moved up from lube tech to real tech. Some would say they are overpriced but these were on sale so I went ahead and got them. In my opinion these are the best box store wrenches that can be bought and best non tool truck wrenches. These are the regular ones as the V-Grooves were just too expensive for me to get. But the quality of Carlyle is always good. And I know the manager so I got a bit more discount too. Me and Danny are big buddies so I wanted to do something nice for him. He only has a single 10mm wrench. He has been borrowing my wrenches all week which is fine because I have two sets of metric but if I am ever out or not in my bay or whatever he can have some.Very cuul of you Blake

When I went to collect this wrench set, I asked him about a Craftsman circular saw he had on sale and he said one of his regulars said he'd take it and asked me if I collected old circular saws to which I replied that I was just looking for a circular saw.
He tells me to hang on , walks out a few min later and GIVES me this in addition to dropping the price for the master wrench set drom $135 to $120, doesn't let me pay for this saw. What a nice guy, I've dealt with him a few times , but ive never bought anything substantial , a few odds and ends.

Me and him both are hourly. I’m not fast enough to be flat rate haha. I was flat rate a couple years ago and was sinking. It’s a policy that you have to remain hourly for at least 6 weeks after moving up anyway.

Smart. Keeps dudes from sinking and dropping out of the biz. A good tech, even someone who is motivated to be so, is tough to find.
Good on you for supporting your friend.

A few items. My table saw was missing the cover/dust port, so I snagged one off of eBay
Was recently talking to my dad about replacing the fence on my new-to-me craftsman saw with a Delta T30 fence system as it no longer will clamp parallel with the blade.. For years we've always had to adjust it, or bump the end to get it just right. Well he went ahead and ordered it and had it sent to my house in time for my birthday last weekend. Thanks dad
Foam insert or magnetic? Magnetics are quite nice. I got this one a few years ago:

It’s the rubber insert. Those magnetic ones are nice though. Guess I need to get with the times and get some magnetic ones lol.
Still waiting for mine.....Got my AvE utility knife a couple days ago. Its really nice, but took some moderate finessing to get it working smoothly.

Jun Air 4000-40MD3. Twin motor, on-board desiccant dryer and cooler. 55dB noise level, 14.97cfm.
These are usually used in labs, so I’ll be adding a more serious filter system for shop use.
Still waiting for mine... again. Our SO dealer.only comes once every 2 weeks & sometimes doesn't even show up. Been waiting for about 2 months now. The wait & seeing quality control issues, I'm not excited to get them anymore.I’m a little miffed but happier than I was…. Come on snap on do better. If your going to consider something precision be precise
New replacements….

New things I’m looking forward to trying. Icon 3/8” drive semi deep sockets and pistol grip pliers from HF’s current sale. HF has the socket sets for $30, the cheapest I’ve seen a 3/8” semi deep set before this was a Gearwrench for $35. Lisle tap socket set. Had a few times these would have been useful recently. DieHard 1/4” drive flex ratchet. Heard good things about these and blue is my favorite color. Then a used Starrett 299 rule clamp which lets you combine two rulers together to make odd lengths.
the replacements are not that bad, I guess... they do what they advertise them to but I guess I just expected more.
