>I don't see the problem, you work the dial and get the pressure you want.
Because the average person doesn’t read instructions. The regulator on the one I got is an order of magnitude higher than what it should be. If a normie threads on some adapter and cranks the regulator halfway up, they’re putting 75psi+ of air pressure into a system that’s normally under vacuum. I’m going to bet that you will have additional leaks after doing that.

>have you seen good one's? This is mechanic-tier and those run $1700 on amazon
This is how Harbor Freight tricks dumb people, my making them think the only other option is $1700 on the rape vans, but the Snap On truck is incredibly overpriced for what you get, mainly because those inflated advertised prices are factoring in straight to your workplace delivery and discretionary franchisee discounts that any regular customer will get. It’s an outdated system.

>$550 for the Icon
Goddamn that’s expensive. I forgot how much it was, I just remember seeing the price when it was first released and thinking it’s overpriced a bit. If you go on Amazon, there’s tons of options for $50-$75 if you have an air compressor, and some of the cheap ones even have air pumps. To get one with the flow meter and all the features of that Icon, probably more like $200.

Harbor Freight has been pissing me off with that stuff in recent years. They got rid of a lot of their real cheap one time use tools for weekenders and added more expensive options. It’s still not as good as the tool trucks often, but it looks attractive to techs who are used to Snap On prices. And for weekenders who might need the tool twice a year, Amazon will have the same quality as Maddox for less, and they also have the super cheap Pittsburgh-tier stuff HF used to sell, but it might take 2 days to get and you’re going to overpay for the Maddox if you need the car fixed today because it’s still cheaper than paying for shop labor.
