13 Cool Tractor Supply Gadgets You Might Not Realize Exist – SlashGear

Being the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the U.S., Tractor Supply is a beloved supplier of a wide array of brands, tools, and gadgets for farmers, rural homeowners, gardeners, and more. The company is more than 85 years old and ranks 290 on the Fortune 500, operating 2,463 active stores in 49 states across the U.S.

However, while it offers a lot of high-end equipment, outdoor power tools, and pet supplies, there are several cool Tractor Supply gadgets you might not even realize exist. For instance, there’s a trail camera, an air needle scaler, and an illuminated magnifier, all of which are pretty unique. Here, we’re going to cover all that, and more relatively unique products you can find at the retailer.

If any of these entries pique your interest, you can shop for Tractor Supply products in stores (where you can also avail a range of other services, such as PetVet Clinic and Trailer Rental) or online through its website.

The Grip-On LED Illuminated Magnifier is something to add to your collection for use when performing high-precision or detailed work on wood, metal, and more. However, the magnifier has much broader applications than that. You can use it to read tiny letters and look at the little details on maps, stamps, or other objects that are otherwise difficult to view with the naked human eye.

This tool has a contoured grip handle and a high-quality acrylic lens that allows for a clear view of the object enabled by 2x magnification, or 6x magnification with the smaller inset lens to take note of the finest details. The integration of an LED light is the distinguishing factor of the tool through which it produces a light output of 65 lumens for better visibility, while the folding design makes storage more convenient. You can buy it on Tractor Supply for $9.99.

With the Johnson Level Digital Angle Locator, you can inspect and transfer angle measurements to create precisely angled cuts in woodworking, renovations, installations, and more. It can display angles up to 90 degrees, with an accuracy of 0.05 degrees to ensure precision. In addition, this angle locator can also be used to compare the difference between angles of two surfaces — all you have to do is place it on the first surface and set it to 0 degrees, and then calculate the angle of the second surface to get a relative measurement.

You can quickly make calibrations, either horizontally or vertically, and obtain readings in five units (degrees, percent, fractional/decimal inch-foot, and millimeters/meters). The LCD screen has a backlight to improve viewing in low light, and the screen also inverts the reading when taking overhead measurements for better readability. You can lock the obtained measurement via the hold function to work with later.

For a price of $59.99, you also get a storage pouch on Tractor Supply. Also, it comes with a limited one-year warranty from the manufacturer.

The Johnson Torpedo Laser Level can help you evaluate whether a surface or an object is leveled horizontally or vertically, especially when you are in the middle of home renovations and improvements and want to hang objects on your wall or install overhead lights and equipment. This product projects a laser dot up to a distance of 100 feet, so you can check for horizontal or vertical lines and use the rotating head swivel to make adjustments accordingly.

You can use the three built-in bubble vials to read plumb and level lines or cross-check for alignment with an accuracy of ⅜ inches. Additionally, the tool is created with a molded ABS housing that can protect it against harsh jobsite conditions and impact. The magnetic base allows for easy placement on any ferrous surface so you can carry out the task while keeping the tool aside. Available at $28.99 on Tractor Supply, you get a one-year warranty on the tool’s purchase.

Another underrated gadget on Tractor Supply, the Powermate Air Needle Scaler can be bought for $54.99, though at time of writing it’s available for 10% off. The tool is used for material removal, like removing old paint and rust from metal, grout between tiles, and more to aid in various cleanup tasks. It is built with 19 steel needles that work at a top speed of 4,500 blows per minute to deliver quick scaling action, though the speed is manageable via the controller. The pistol grip design allows for easier handling of the tool, along with greater maneuverability, and the long and thin head can access narrow spaces for an effective cleanup.

Furthermore, there is a front exhaust on the pistol scaler, which acts as a heat outlet, directing the hot air away from the user. With the durable aluminum housing, this tool is built for long-lasting use. This Powermate gadget holds a 4.5-star score on Tractor Supply.

The Garrett Metal Detector helps you quickly find and locate your target using a patented proportional audio and vibration pulse that intensifies as you move closer to the metallic object. It has a 360-degree side scan detection and a high-precision tip that takes you to the exact location of your target. This advanced tool also has a scraping blade to quickly dig through soil to grab the treasure, and a built-in scale for figuring out the depth of the object of interest. There are six detection options that can be selected via the button present on the tool.

This metal detector can be submersed into water up to a depth of six meters without experiencing damage or performance issues to fetch underwater treasures. Moreover, there’s also an LED flashlight to improve visibility in darker environments. In case you lose the tool, it will automatically activate a lost-probe alarm after five minutes of inactivity in the form of periodic warning chirps so you can get hold of the detector.

Coming with a three-year warranty, this unique tool can be purchased for $129.99 on Tractor Supply, where it sits at an impressive 4.9-star rating from 53 users. The kit also includes a woven belt holster and a nine-volt battery for immediate use.

An infrared thermometer is useful for fetching the temperature of a surface without having to actually touch it. With the Olympia Infrared Digital Thermometer, you can obtain quick temperature measurements in either Celsius or Fahrenheit by pointing the laser at the target surface. Built to read temperatures within a range of -58 and 626 degrees Fahrenheit, it is suitable for use on a variety of objects, like electrical outlets, engines, water pipes, cooking surfaces, HVAC appliances, and more. 

The readings are shown on a colorful LCD display for better readability even in low-light areas. Also, with the hold option, you can keep the latest readings on display even after releasing the trigger to take note of later. The pack, priced at $27.99 on Tractor Supply, comes with two AAA batteries. However, be careful when using this infrared thermometer, as pointing it directly at eyes and reflective surfaces can have dangerous consequences.
