New Tool Day

That thing doesn’t work all that great. There are two different wheels, two different vehicles in my collection that it refuses to seat correctly and will not air them up. Nice concept but not consistent.

Interesting. Ive been use in my jeep + two other vehicles, never had an issue

Kinda wondering if I’ve just got a faulty one. All the reviews I’ve read about them rant and rave over them. I’ve got mine attached to the Makita brand portable compressor. You set it for the pressure you want and it gets it there. My problem connector immediately stops and says it at the set pressure. Does it on one of the wife’s Audi wheels and one of my Ram wheels. Oh, and one or two of my John Deere mower wheels. Very inconsistent vehicle wise, but always the same wheels.

Somewhere else I saw they were a “small” made in USA business, so I skipped the chicom junk and it looks like they have a decent warranty. Worth a email.

Just made my first Vevor purchase and I really have nothing to bitch about. I picked up an older HF 7" lathe cheap a few years back and it was OK for the most part and wanted to get the 12" from HF but didn't really see any value for the $800 price, then I stumbled on the Vevor 14" for $495 w/ship that's 2" longer then the HF and has no plastic hand cranks.

Got a few new things from the Wizard!!!!! His nutsert tool and nutsert for the big skidplate.

The wrenches are from Amazon and are 38mm/1 1/2" for my double adjustable control arms.

The bearing setup is nice.

It wouldn't work for those anyways because they are too big, but reminded me of another DO NOT BUY warning.

I picked up Astro Pneumatic's drill rivnut installer and it's unusable for me. Neither my M12 Fuel or M18 have finite enough clutch adjustment to use it, so it either doesn't crush or it immediately spins the rivnut. Picked it since it was recommended in the Motobilt slider install instructions for the JL:

That would have been the only one I would have looked at to. Glad I didn't buy one now.

Interesting, I bought the ADN38 and it worked great with both my M18 Fuel drill and my Kobalt XTR 24v drill. To the point on the heavy duty rivnuts that Fluxor provides I had more trouble holding onto the thing than anything to get them started. I bet I set 100 of them though between the corners, rockers, tailgate and valance.
