Be glad the Snap-On & Mac trucks don't stop by every week...  thousands and
thousands of dollars later and I'm still buying tools.

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: Tools

Well for those of us that do our own maintenance (isn't that everyone
on this list?)

I really enjoy getting good tools (I'm fascinated by how there is a
specialized tool for just oh, so many things...)

To make service on my AC easier (with 6 vehicles...this is something
that will come up relatively regularly....) I finally got myself a
vacuum pump. Based on another listee's recommendation I ordered one
from Bestech. Came in 2 days (UPS ground...but then Bestech is in New
Jersey and I'm in Virginia.) Sweet little beast. And quieter than I was
expecting (I was thinking it would be noisy like some compressors are.)

Of course the manual is in Engrish (www.engrish.com if you've never
experienced this.) Oh, and while it is Thursday, this is clearly a
FRYDAY topic....
