They told me I could throw the compressor off the roof of my building and return it with no questions asked

Finally had a chance to stop buy HF and pick up some new tools for MagPie. In the pic below, you can see the black / yellow crate thingy -- this is what i was hauling around my tools in just in case of a road side emergency. Its huge and probably about 1/3 full

Decided to make things a lot smaller and more manageable. Bought 2 sets of metric sockets (normal and deep), metric wrenches and another 3/8" driver. Had extensions already and screw drivers / pliers etc. Managed to fit everything in the ammo box HF sells which is literally 1/3 of the size of my original box.

Also picked up a 12 ton bottle jack because.. i didn't have any provisions to jack the car up to change a spare on the road. Gonna make some sort of plate / cup that'll fit on the jack which will mate with the axle a little better.

Came out to be around $100 so i'm happy with that.

I received my HF catalog in the mail yesterday. Sadly, they don't ship to military APO addresses overseas.
