No Northern Tool nearby...

Harbor Freight's digital calipers are great, assuming you're not making your living as a machinist. I'll buy big stuff I use once a year there: Big pipe wrenches with aluminum handles, compressor hose if it's made in the usa, and air tools I won't use all the time.

Mission-critical tools are at least Craftsman.

For the fule filter, a crescent is fine on the filter, it's single use. I rolled my own box-to-flare wrench for the fule lines. A little never-seez on the threads makes it easy to change.
