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.... |
