re: What's a cheap item that you've gotten a lot of use out of?

$10 air pump from Walmart close to 20 tears ago. It plugs into an auto's cigarette / power port. I Use it to air my truck tires twice a year. have aired friends car tires, footballs, basketballs, bike tires and I have to air up my generators tires quite frequently.

I have saved at least 5 or 6 times the cost of the pump over going to gas stations / convenience stores every time I need to air something up.


Very similar to this $19 dollar pump. Just a gauge and a switch. The one I have has attachments attached to the air hose - ball needle, air mattress fitting, etc.
