And finally, this. After using one someone else had last Saturday, I'll never go back to a regular gauge again. It's not necessarily a PrimeDay deal, but a good buy.

Amazon.com: Rhino USA Digital Tire Inflator with Pressure Gauge (0-200 PSI) - ANSI B40.1 Accurate, Large 2" Easy Read Glow Dial, Premium Braided Hose, Solid Brass Hardware, Best for Any Car, Truck, Motorcycle, RV : Automotive
Rhino has some great products. Family business. Everything that I've bought has a lifetime guarantee and they honor it. I had a few dirt bike tie down straps start to fray. They asked me to send a picture and I had new straps within a week. I bought that gauge you mentioned too.

90% of the shit on Amazon comes from china. about 42% of the companies selling on Amazon are in china. 75% of third party sellers are Chinese. 80% of the US based companies on Amazon sell only imported goods. The problem is corporate greed leading to offshoring jobs and we don’t make shit here anymore. I guess if WW3 breaks out we can make planes and tanks out of Amazon shipping boxes. These number are not exact but F amazon and china.
Unfortunately, this is the way the world is, and it’s never going back, no matter what the politicians tell you. So we either go on with our lives, or we cash it in…

Got the xbull boards for $85. For that price I'll give them a shot.

OBDLink for ForSCAN (the wired adapter most highly recommended on their site) is 20% off for Prime Day. Wasn't expecting to spend money today, but this one got me to bite the bullet.

Non-affiliate link, for the record
You’re by far not the only one but this is one of many examples of vendors artificially upping the price on prime day to give the impression of a “sale”

They have more than 1 million employees here in the USA. One of the largest employers in the USA. You support working men and women in the USA with every purchase.

Furthermore EVERY company gets materials from China. It’s not new or exclusive to Amazon. It was a great argument in the 1980’s.

Its like shouting at the sun-its not going away.

Amazon makes it easy to shop for things-there is huge selection of items to chose from and gets them to you in 24 hours in most cases.

Brick and mortar shops can't compete with that. What they need to do is offer an "experience" when you visit it-I have a local pet store that my wife and I visit weekly with our dog-They have a Friday night event at the dog park for dog owners to get together and just hang out for a couple hours and they offer different events on the weekends to go to with your dog also. Their pricing is almost identical to what Amazon sells at and we know the staff personally because we've been going there since our Pup was 10 weeks old and he is 4 1/2 now.

I like Amazon also because I made a lot of money off their stock too...I wish I bought more 10 years ago :)
Amazon has indeed provided a great app with a huge selection of items that are delivered quickly. I've purchased a few Bronco accessories from Amazon myself.

Yet every time there's light shined on how Amazon treats it's employees it's always poorly. Whether it be the systemic underpayment of fulfillment workers due to a "payroll error" or employees being pressured out of bathroom break that were peeing in water bottles to make KPI's.

We all like quick delivery, and I'm glad your stock is up, but there's definitely a cost for Prime that we can't pretend is not there. I try to buy accessories from Ford where possible or direct from the business that makes them.

I have worked in Defense industry for the past 20 years and I can tell you that there isn't anything directly used in weapons systems that comes from China. Also there is lots going on in the background to protect the supply chain from being compromised by China.

The biggest issue is mom and pop operations that supply defense companies with supplies that go out of business because they don't make money because of lack of orders and other things-that is one of the biggest reasons why you see the preverbal 300K toilet seat type things...because they are only buying 10 of them vs 10 thousand of them.

Like I said before-its like shouting at the sun-your not gonna change it. There are lots of parts on your Bronco that come from Mexico or China.

FYI: I returned mine because the wheel chuck doesn't fit the sasquatch wheel, very very hard to lock the valve as the it is quite a bit inside the wheel. I got 4 valve extenders to make it work properly. but still took about 30 minutes to do 4 tires from 20 to 39 doing 1 tire at a time.

Hmm, I'm not sure if that's the case here. I've had this on my Bronco amazon shopping list for about 2 weeks now, and if I'm remembering correctly it'd been $59.99 since I added it.

Non-zero chance I'm not remembering correctly. Anyway... mine was somehow delivered 2 hours after ordering and I'm at the dumb office letting some a-hole probably steal it off my porch.

Do you work for Amazon? Hahaha. They treat their employees like crap. They get municipalities to build fulfillment centers with TIFs and tax breaks, cities foot the bill for the infrastructure and then all the truck traffic tears up roads and causes people to move away. The vast majority of the workers are temps that never get hired to full time. They just get let go and brought back as a temp so they don’t get benefits. Amazon is a cancer. Order from them if you want, I don’t care. But to argue they’re a good company and create American jobs is hilarious statement.

I'm sure someone has already posted it, but just to make sure, y'all need to use CamelCamelCamel or Camelizer addon in your browser.

https://camelcamelcamel.com/

Put the URL or page into the site, and it'll show you the actual price history on pretty much anything on Amazon, and tell you if it's actually a good deal or if it's just marking BS.

MSRP $688*, today it's only $400!

*only actually ever sold for $420, was never $688, but someone thinks they're getting $288 off....
