Sorry, I meant:

But looking at the parts diagram, for $10 the make-or-buy decision seems to
be "buy".


I wouldn't think they could even sell you the housing and handle for
that. G

Speaking of handles....

Wasn't it Rodney Dangerfield who said:

"I went to open the refrigerator this morning and the handle fell off
the door...When I grab my briefcase the handle tore loose...Now I'm
afraid to go take a leak."

Looks like the Single Stage AV Series Pump is what you're looking for.
A friend of mine purchased the AVR093H (High vacuum level) while
attending the Bell Composite school, and said it works like a champ.
They sell for $21, and air consumption rates are about a quarter of
the Harbor Freight unit. They also make a Low and Medium Vacuum Level
version.

Here's the spec sheet:
