What Did You Buy Today?

Great score. I still have a very sticky trigger on my eagle can that i bought. I think its been heavily used and worn out. My only other though is is there a bushing between the plunger and trigger mechanism.

Let us know if woodchuckers idea works
 
Yea i cleaned the whole can and took apart everything. The trigger mechanism connects to the plunger with like a keyway cut like a dovetail and seem like there is significant play between the two parts. I tried putting a small o-ring on for a tighter fit but it still wobbles and i think is causing the lock up.
 
I was not aware that there was such a thing as a lathe file... Well, found that out and ordered one... arrived today with a few other things.

Bahco 1-104-10-3-0 Smooth Cut Lathe File, 10-Inch

Needed an all around ruler in 6" and 12"... the ones I had disappeared in my son's room... and also got a digital angle gauge...

Those digital angle cubes are incredibly handy. I bought mine for my vertical tube bender but it seems like I'm always reaching for it for other things.
 
I compared the electronic angle gauge to everything I had for setting angles back when I got it, and it was on the money every time at 1 deg of resolution. Soon I began to trust it for setting pinion angles and welding up axle linkages. Everything drives straight. That's a pretty big endorsement from me. Does the job of bob, string, and protractor very well, all on a handy magnetic base!
