Other than Amazon what a good place to buy air tools. I like to do better than Harbor fright.
 
If I'm buying tools online and not through Amazon it's mostly Tooltopia or Acme Tool. I don't generally buy air tools at all anymore though.

Things like needle scalers, air chisels and sanders. My electric DA cannot keep up with a air power. Also I finally have a great compressed air set up which is a real eye opener.

Honest to god that little needle scaler that HF sells kicks ass. I like it better than their bigger one, and also like it better than an old JET needle scaler I have as well. Buy extra needles from HF or off of e-bay cause they will break from time to time. I did have to take mine apart after a billion hours because the plunger got stuck in the bore and I had to polish it up with some emery cloth to get it going again.

Air chisel I'd go with a more reputable brand off e-bay. Sanders, probably Eastwood or some place similar, although it will probably still be chinese made. I've had pretty good luck with chinese air tools. If you aren't afraid to take them apart and deburr stuff and port out some openings you can make them run like a bat out of hell.

Thats a nice looking die grinder. I will be adding that to my e-bay cart for the future! I just got a Chicago Pneumatic die grinder off e-bay for about that same price. Seems nice. Time will tell.

Ingersoll Rand and be done. I have one i got in a pawn shop for like $15 and im pretty sure i could cut a D8 hightrack in half with it.
 
Most of my "good" stuff is just IR or Aircat off Amazon. The rest is crappy tire or princess auto.

You talking about an air hammer? I have a few smaller air hammers, one is from Napa (Evercraft maybe?) The other two are just ching chong ones. I do have a couple bigger Chicago Pneumatic chipping hammers that will tear shit up.
