Saw it at our local Kmart for $3.29.  I had one already, but that's a fine price if you need it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I do prefer the brass units. However, I discovered some of them are set to 40 psi, while others run 50 psi. I left one behind at a campsite while debarking in the rain and a hurry. Bought another and it was a 40, and the flow was too low.

Punctuation. It saves lives.

Any way to tell, other than hooking up a pressure gage?
