So guys...

A 2 inch angle head offset wrench with the heads reversed on each end to be able to turn the hose fitting flip the wrench and turn the fitting more etc about 12-16 inches long would be nice. Some short ball head allen wrenches built into a universal or wobble socket.

Id like to see a quiet version of the snap on 3/8 bad boy impact, mine is louder than loud, sometimes annoying..

if I am understanding you right... wouldn't a ratcheting wrench work out?

make a durable air chuck with a gauge!

I have this one:
http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=12316&group_ID=1665&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

which the next time the Snap-On guy shows up is gonna be getting a new freaking gauge, AGAIN! If it takes a mild tap or you drop it from like 2 foot, the needle jumps and thats that, it is innacurrate from there on. I bumped it against my tool cart today, bam 10 psi off now. Pisses me off most because my Snap-On guy sucks and it took him 3 weeks to get my replacement gauge that last time this happened. I'd gladly trade it for the Matco version of the samething, but I'm certain its the same damn item.

It should come in a kit with a couple of interchangable ends and a quick coupler. I modified mine with a female coupler from our air lines. Then just throw a few fittings on some air chucks.

hey sled why not replace the gauge with a glycerine filled one? they are anti shock.

 

[sled_dog]

cause the non-filled ones are free? That doesn't sound like a bad idea. Confedneck, happen to know if Snap-On sells an upgraded gauge like that?

 

[darkshadow]

yeah free is nice, I do know it you want to shell out there about 15 bucks canadian so they are atleast reasonable

 

[Confedneck79K30]

nosir, we dont, but i'll present it as an option to the handtool guys, mebbe a shock resistant gauge is better faired than a rubber boot

yea I can atest the rubber boot does jack except maybe prevent dents or broken lenses.

My Snap-On guy really pissed me off with it last week(well 2 weeks ago since he didn't show this past week). I showed him the, yet again innaccurate gauge. And he seemed pissed and said "Yea alright I have one in the truck". Came back later and handed me my receipt. I was busy with a job so forgot about it, he left... Never mentioned another word about the gauge. Too bad the Matco guy comes before the Snap-On guy, makes it more difficult to trade the ****ing thing.

lol i warranteed a gauge for a cust about a month ago on one of those, last week he showed it to me and said "its screwed up again"... lol i asked who dropped it, guess he didnt notice the pieces of the lense down in the gauge, DOH.... told him hes gotta stop loaning his tools out and make the guys buy their own.... they can all have an account with me, i told him lol... i sold my cousin one of those gauges, the first time it effed up i traded him into the old style slide window gauge...
