He had ALOT of tools. Smart too for a guy with an 8th grade education. The machining course is a great idea. I would say I can't wait till my kids are old enough to go with me, but I don't want to rush anything. Oldest is already 9 and I feel like I just changed her diapers yesterday. Sent...

My dad was a machinist, although I didn't really understand that before he passed. I spent alot of time since, figuring out what certain tools were and and to use them. Some I can't use, like the big box of end mills I have.....but I'll be damned if I'm gonna get rid of them. Maybe someday I...

No. I meant that I know r22 is not used any more. I have heard differing opinions and no real consensus on flushing and re-using the copper. So I just figured the safest thing to do when the time comes is replace it all as it is not a long run at all...less than 20'. Sent from my...

Thanks for the advice so far I am aware that the refrigerant in my central ac is probably obsolete, and will likely replace the linesets and evaporator at the same time. Keep the opinions coming Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Good morning. I am planning to do some hvac work at home and on my vehicles. Can anyone tell me what hvac specific tools I will need. I plan to evacuate and recharge the ac in my truck, as I understand this should be done every few years. I also plan to replace my old central ac condenser when...
