I'm usually not one of the people that would claim greatness from a cheapo gadget from Harbor Freight. If yall don't know what that is its similar to Northern Tool. A place chock fulla inexpensive tools and equipment. I bought a tire pump from them last year and it is fantastic! I originally bought it for my side by side and lawnmower. They get slow leaks from time to time. I've used it enough for that and other purposes that I ended up buying one for each vehicle in the fleet. They seem to be very heavy duty for such a small thing and it's made of metal. The best part is that they are only about 20 bucks. Then you can slap on a 20% coupon. Highly recommended. I was reminded of it today because I helped out a family in a parking lot with a flat. I gave em a shot of fix a flat and aired up their tire so they could get on their way safely. I figured it was worth a review and recommendation. Here's a picture of the kit:

We use Grainger at work. Problem with them is they really don't give businesses much of a break price wise but yeah they have most anything you can think of.

We have a Northern Tool and Equipment about 2 miles from here. They have some cheap crap, but carry quality stuff too. I bought an Ingersoll-Rand air compressor from them a few years ago and am very happy with it.
