You quit, you come back, you say you're going to quit, get a counter offer and stay, then quit again, and act like a jerk.... A wishy-washy guy like that doesn't really want to be there anyway. You're better off without him, IMO.

On another front, I should have bought one of these a long time ago!

It does, and it works great.

And I don't know why people are complaining in the reviews about the valve-stem clamp unless they simply got a defective one, or don't realize you have to hold it open for it to fit onto the stem, then release it once it's in place. It works as advertised for me.

EDIT: And yeah, if you crank the snot out of the nipple when installing it, the plastic handle is gonna crack.

EDIT 2: I might think about changing out the chuck for this angled one if I find it difficult to use on anything.

I just drove all the way to Salt Lake to get a window regulator for the 2011 Escape. MacGyver'd the thing to get the motor to move... a Dewalt battery works fine, BTW. I got it up to the counter and the SOB said "that'll be 52 dollars". The eff? I told him he could keep it. Brand new it's 38 on Amazon.

Thanks. I need a new one and this would fit the bill, although I am leery of this sort of presumably-Chinese Amazon junk.

That's just the price you have to pay to live in a society that can't even keep beef on the shelf.
