Take a look at Harbor Freight. They've got a nice one for

In my opinion, Harbor Freight doesn't sell very good quality stuff

(except for
the "name brand" items like Channel-lock). I never buy anything there

if I need
for it to last. I remain pleasantly surprised by a drill press I

bought from
them (which keeps right on going), but most of the items I've bought

either
didn't work very well or didn't last very long.


Funny, that's what I like about Harbor Freight, the cheapness. When I
buy a coil spring compressor (as an example) I may only use it 3 times
in my life and don't need the same quality as the professional who will
use it 3 times a day. At HF I can by the cheap version for less than
the cost to rent one, without the rental hassle.
