8 point socket on an impact driver, smack it once or twice with a BFH and she'll pop right out. If that don't work, it's torch time.

Wish I were closer to that.

Safety guy is constantly giving me grief about not wearing gloves. I can't help it, it's just the way things were done when I came up. I'll wear them for heavy lifting, welding, that kind of stuff, but for just working, most of the time it's bare hands for me. I do have some nice mechanics...

I'd like to see some pics of the presses as well, they are pretty neat machines, imho.

For a good pocket knife, you can't really go wrong with one of these............ http://www.wrcase.com/

Wow, I wish my taxes were that low. That's about the going tax rate for a homeless guy living in a refrigerator box, under a bridge in Jersey. We lead the nation in greedy, crooked politicians here.

Step 1, Install an attic fan in the attic above the garage. Step 2, fill the exterior walls with blown in cellulose insulation and add cel-o-tek panels to the inside of the garage doors (assuming they are aluminum). Step 3, get one of these...

Model 1010............

The more I read this thread, the more impressed I am. I have learned a few things allready. Please continue posting, not only this project, but whatever you tackle next.

Same way you heat bearings up to get 'em to drop onto the shaft.......... ................just don't let your wife find out what you're up to with her grill.:bounce:

That describes the greenlee tools I own. Don't spend much time in the box stores, but the Greenlee stuff I see at the electrical supply is pretty nice. True, I killed a couple of Klein screwdrivers in rapid sucession and never bought another one, nor will I. They still make the best...

Greenlee is right up there with Klein in the manufacture of tools for the electrical trade.....................Kinda like Mac is to Snap-on in the mechanic trade. I have some Greenlee tools that are first rate.

I've got two aluminum 48's and a steel 60 in my garage........all Ridgids. Don't use 'em too often, but when you need to unscrew a 4" ****** or bend some steel stock, they can't be beat.

Looks like Square D breakers in a Seimens (?) box......... doesn't look like they really fit to me......... Only reason I can think of would be poor fit at the buss, causeing the breaker to heat up slowly and trip. Could be current leakage thru the compressor switch to ground, what happens if...

Try to stay with the same brand of breaker as the panel itself.

Put an ammeter on it and see what's going on. Is the breaker warm/hot after it trips? Try swapping the breaker out for another one in the panel, just to see what happens. If the new braker does the same thing, the problem is soomewhere else.

Packing glands on old-school refrigeration valves and shaft seals.

Congrats on the new job.:thumbup:

They are referring to the size/type of the hose fittings. The "R-12/22/134a" stands for the pressure/temperature scale, printed on the face of the gauges.
