princess auto tools that dont suck

Some chargers will not charge a very low battery. Did you try it on a good battery. Sorry to belabor this point.

I still dont see how the battery would read lower when hooked up to a charger.

I am guessing at this point. The charger will sense battery voltage and apply a small load prior to charging. This could load a very discharged battery down and bring the voltage lower. Sometimes chargers are too smart. I have had to use a dumb charger to get a battery charged enough to use a smart charger.

I wouldnt have thought of a $19 special item charger from princess auto as too smart. This was one of those things they get a load of, and sell them until they run out.

This could be handy, if you have one. I need a carry-all.

Next time I go in I will see if I can get a copy of that book and if so I will scan it and if anyone wants I can post or send them a copy cause it has ordering numbers so princess auto can directly type it into their system.

Smarts are pretty cheap today. I am speaking from too much guess work here having not seen or studied the charger.

I also bought this thing around 4 years ago, and it has spent most of its time on the shelf, so I really have no idea. When I get back home, I will take another look at it.

1000 pound swivel jack with foot, $19.99, regular $49.99. Wish they had more than one left, got there too late unfortunately, they sold a bin full in the first 30 minutes this morning. Substantial enough to use to stow a couple of my implements to make taking them off / putting them on a little easier.

Dug this up from the groove yard.
I buy a lot of stuff at Princess, shop careful , read through the flyers. Last week die grinders $ 8.50. I keep about 6 die grinders set up at a time easier than changing bits. Some are better than others, if it doesn't last 2 months I'll ask for another one or my money back. I've taken stuff back , never a hassle. ---Trevor

I like them well enough and have picked up some good deals but I don't live close to them and have to have them ship the items which sometimes can double the price. Looking forward to having a store built closer that I can drive to without spending a half day to do it.
