That label in the last photo - is that just a box the items is in or is it on the tool some place?

It's nice for touching up valves. Saves a trip to the machine shop. And today machines shops in my area are few and far between. Really nice for valves that are tough to fine or sometimes impossible to get . Again all dependent on how bad the valve is to start with. Was very handy when I was running my shop. Just no need for it any longer. For the price of a new one it hard to justify the cost ( though I did at the time). I have my price at less than a 1/4 of they're going for new. Hopefully I can give someone a good buy..

Thinking about buying this... But not home right now, I'm 1 state over from home sitting in front of a campfire waiting for dinner to finish, we're camping a couple more days.
