Message	:leaves a bit to be desired. :You say you're a businessman, yet you say you barely make money off testers. What's the point of being in business? My major gripe with the testors is that there really is no NEED for it when you can make a perfectly acceptable design for one tenth the cost. Ok, fine, you have a pretty plastic insert, but so what? A 3" PVC cap does the job just as well. I can see making them for about $4 and selling them for $10, maybe $15 for your trouble ... but selling that product at $30 just makes no sense. As for patents, good luck. :The coil pack connectors ... well, you didn't do your research. Okay, you took some shit over that. Big deal. :Come up with a viable product at a reasonable cost, and I'll be the first one to congratulate you. I couldn't build one for $2.20. I couldn't find the appropriate PVC cap anyhwhere in Tulsa. I looked at Home Depot, Lowes, and a specialty plumbing company. Maybe that reflects badly on Tulsa, but it also reflects a need that Chris filled. I also could not find a gauge to use that would read low air pressure. Every gauge I found started at 10 PSI. I have no idea how much his gauges cost, but it was a bargain for me to buy his tester for $22. I could have spent an entire day looking for an appropriate gauge and cap....much less the time to construct the tester. It boggles my mind that people that aren't buying them are complaining about the price. Even if it took me 1/2 hour to find and build the tester, it's worth more than $22 for my time. The value of your time may vary. Dustin
