So, dear Miss Manners, which is the better deal?

Since I needed tools for industrial use I got one of these


http://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-t...rdless/2410-20


or something like it.

The small battery pack fooled me. It really holds up longer and charges
fast.

Of course it was not cheap.

Seriously, I'd save my money.

Example: Friend of mine bought a Harbor Freight tire inflator. He laughed at me for paying $60 for a Longacre inflator when his HF one cost under $10 and to be fair, the gauge on it checked within the limits of my eyes as accurate WRT the Longacre.

Fast forward a couple months. Suddenly the gauge on the HF inflator is reading high. I figured that I'd just slap a better gauge on it and give it back to him. Well it takes a 1/8" NPT gauge and all I can find that seem decent are 1/4". Then I thought I'd tell him to just buy another $10 inflator and I'll salvage what I can for my tool kit. Well the tire chuck on it is kind of annoying, the gauge is busted, and the inflator itself sticks sometimes. What's left... the hose?

I really like my Longacre inflator. Interco makes a nice one, too.

I have /one/ credit card and have a rule:

If I can't afford it, I don't buy it.

It's for convenience only and I have not paid one cent interest.


When the stock became public I bought all I could afford and now the
money I'm making from it is about equal to my monthly bills.

Are you making any money off the credit card ? One of mine pays a small
percentage back. Also have a couple of store credit cards that if you
charge them you get a deal sometimes. Like Lowes gives you 5 % off if I
remember the correct card.
Charged something to Belks with their card and got a deal, but need to make
sure it is payed off. Think it is like about 24%.

Just make sure you can pay off what you charge at the end of the month.
Also use a pay by computer (whatever you call it) to send money from my
checking account to the various places.

Yes, I get 1% back. Like I said...I have never paid a cent of interest
....full amount is paid each month.

I suppose I could setup a bank transfer as pretty much everything I have
is auto-deposit or auto-withdrawal..

I have one of these that I bought in 1989 and it's still going strong.
I've had to replace the batteries a few times and since the item was
manufactured by Panasonic for Milwaukee, the Panasonic batteries for
their identical unit except for housing color will fit. Last year I got
several new batteries from Amazon. ^_^

I call that an expansion tank, or burp tank. Not
an inflator. An inflator (to me) is a compressor.
Or a tire pump.

In the case of that tank, you can put it in the
system with your home compressor, so it runs
longer between cycles. More oompah in the first
couple seconds, for air tools.
