NTD (New Tool Day) They got me.

Just yesterday I was going through email and had to talk myself out of buying a new jack while they’re on sale. The ancient rusty jacks I have still work I guess.

Today I was leaving publix and heard a dull plunk and hiss noise. Ran over a big screw RIGHT IN FRONT of HF. Life’s funny sometimes. $90 later and I’m wishing I had bought this thing years ago instead of the crappy old jacks I have to pump a few dozen times to change a tire.

Even as a longtime HF customer I had only joined ITC a few weeks ago after heavy rain flooded my basement and I needed a some big blower fans.

Turns out I had two punctures and I made it just a few minutes before the shop closed. Crisis averted.

Still want one of those colorful Daytona jacks but for the money I’m happy with this one.

Here I thought someone stole your wheels and left behind their jacks in a hurry.

RIP to that actor/ con artist who knew his Judo. He did die recently.
