Thumbs up Mityvac

I was just looking at the latest add from Harbor Freight Tools and they have a Mityvac kit for $28.99. This is probably the plastic one but I've been using that kind with no problem for the last 6 mo.
www.HarborFreightusa.com
I have some tools that I got from them and have had no problems so far.

Sears has it here for $35

Click Here

You can probably get it for $29 by price matching Harbor Freight's price.
Harbor Freight does have retail stores so you should be able to do it.

Harbor Freight is great! Whare else can you get tools that you'll probably use but once, at about 25% of the cost of the "good" tools? I've never had a problem with anything I've ever bought there. In fact, I bought their generic vacuum pump (i think it was like $15), and works fine for me!

Some Harbor Freight stuff is cr@p. I bought a really cheap rotary hand tool and it barely has the power to get a cutting wheel spinning. Put the cutting wheel against a plastic item like a wall switch plate and it stalls :/ The 1/2" click type torque wrench is a great deal at $10-15 when it goes on sale or even at the regular price of $20. I keep it in the car in case I have to pull a wheel away from home. I'm thinking of getting an extra long 1/2" breaker bar set for $14 but I'd hate to think where my knuckles will embed themselves if the hinge gives out
