Some of the stuff they sell is pretty good though....and there are bargains to be had too, like the two boxes of carbide tipped tools I got for $3-99 each less than half price and less than 80c a piece....
Sadly though the airline fittings are not compatible with my existing stuff..(slightly smaller) but they'll get used....
But the digital calipers were a bargain....

John, a US standard pipe tap would go a long way in making those air fittings compatible. Should be a 1/4" NPT (national pipe thread) If you can't find one let me know and I will send you one.

Hmmm Still no Reno pics, It must be taking some time to sort them out, waiting patiently though.
