Proves you can sell anything

This just proves you can sell anything on eBay for lots of profit and you decide the ethics but he sells it well,http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7954181098

Is that a hydraulic jack attached to a dresser drawer for $127 bucks? Wow that's amazing! And only $25 bucks to ship it!

Honest too

I asked him questions about it and he was quick to respond He never used it on mercedes injectors to check the spray pattern you hold the lever to keep it at 20bar he never used it above 50 bar and he wanted to point out that the guage was in psi not bar S if he sells junk for never calls it manufactured But never tells you it is a pile of usless junk is that dishonest or shrewed buisness we see it works. I wish I could use his test methods to call my used injectors tested good on ebay. My reject rate would go from 90 percent bad to 90 percent good instantly. Still shocked one guy bid but the second bid I just had to say somthing

Longest Key Words list I have ever seen!!!!!
I note the word Joker is among them and I wonder why?
I don't think this little thing is going to read accurately enough to tell the opening point on injectors. The setup I've seen uses a big 6 inch gauge and a one way valve that prevents pressure from staying on the pump when the handle is released.
Also he doesn't provide any cautionary statements, that thing could kill someone if they put their hand against a nozzle's outlet and pumped on it (diesel poisoning).

That's similar to what I built, except I have a larger 4" gauge. By eyeball you can estimate cracking pressure to 25 psi. What it's really good for is observing the spray pattern. I'm curious why he should need to warn idiots not to spray their hands with it?

BTW, I bought all the parts from McMaster for that tester for $60, so he's making a good profit -- probably takes about an hour to build it. I wouldn't want to try to make a living making them.

If you place your body at a fuel nozzle when it opens diesel can penetrate the skin because of the high pressure.
This warning is not commonly posted anywhere I have seen, maybe because most individuals testing diesel nozzles are professionally trained.
I was warned verbally by the local Bosch service shop owner as I tested a nozzle (he set up their test bench to demonstrate it to me)
I just did a quick search on the Internet and found a German paper written on the subject:
"The most commonly injected materials in high-pressure injection injury to the hand include paint, automotive grease, solvents and diesel oil. High-pressure injection injuries are a frequently mismanaged problem, as they are often not recognized and treated early, which may result in a compromised function of the hand or even the amputation of a digit. Early diagnosis is an important factor, as well as the type and amount of injected material and the injection pressure at appliance. We present one case of high-pressure injection injury to the hand with the surfacer Caparol Accord. This report describes the principles of treatment and gives an overview of the literature about tissue injuries caused by components of different substances encountered in high-pressure injection injuries."
source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=11490958

A new high-pressure injection injury of the hand.
Craig EV.
A high-pressure injection injury to the hand followed an unusually benign course, probably because of the nature of the substances injected, Freon and isopropyl alcohol. This is in marked contrast to the usually devastating result of injection of paint, grease, or diesel fuel under pressure. This type of injury may be seen more frequently in the future since the two substances injected are used for the cleaning and maintenance of computers and computer parts.

Come on Old300D.....you know there is some idiot out there that will want to watch the spray up close or feel how much pressure comes out ( more than a few I would guess) .
