Stuff I should have bought years ago - LongRanger_imp - 08-05-2020
I really should have bought a tire changing machine when I thought about it 25 years ago. It would have paid for itself in no time.
And I should have bought a hydraulic motorcycle lift so I could work on my bikes without sitting on the floor or bending over and killing my back. Too late now.
But today I broke down and bought a fancy-dancy professional-grade tire inflator with a built-in liquid-filled gauge. It snaps right onto my air compressor. Should have bought one of these years ago! Now, no more having to repeatedly stop to check the pressure with a questionable handheld gauge each time I air up.
Anyone else?

Brand? Pics? It sounds like something I must possess.

I wish I had a 4 car garage. One of those would be set up with a motorcycle lift cause I'm getting too old to be laying on the ground working on bikes anymore.

Purchased. Thanks for the heads up. I can't believe I've gone this long without that.

I use the Milton professional one with a swivel head , they are also very easy to use and a good air compressor is a must for many shop tasks.

I use a Motion Pro digital gauge similar to the Longacre 52-53000

You only need to get rid of one car and you'll be all set!
