No need for gauge manifold and hoses, I used a valve core removal tool and a micron gauge to test vacuum, pressure test first! . I did not buy a special vacuum rated hose.

Been web surfing coil cleaners. Desolve appears in vidoes to clean what I have on my bower wheel. I have tried Calgon and Simple Green coil cleaner and not impressed with either of them. Calgon spray and SG liquid...

Hard to justify $700 for home use. I have been thinking about one of these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FYPYWXT/?tag=atomicindus08-20

At 75 a minor job like removing a blower wheel is a major under taking!

I have 3 DAikin mini's 2 9K and a 12k, 15 series, 4 years old. I have disassembled them and cleaned blower wheel outside, comes out squeky clean with a bleach soap solution, brush and hose. Full text and picture did not post? edit This time I used a spray foam coil cleaner and Simple Green...

3 Daikins, 9,9,12K 4 years old, new evap coil in the 12 and PC board in one of the 9's. All are a PIA cleaning the indoor units!

The tool nobody wants to buy! https://trutechtools.com/Pro-Set-FTXSGFlaring-and-Swaging-Tools-R410a-Flare-Sizing-Gauge?a=0&srsltid=AfmBOorKkqehdvAOXYKmMEfR34mbQazpn2FqlLETYB3JUsxH3cl7KRismcg

I have a cheap electronic leak detector and it is iffy, gives false readings. Bought a $700 Superior AccuTrak VPE PRO and it worked well for me. $700 sounds like a lot but the smash and grab, gas and go companys would have cost me more! I had checked pressures and was positive I had a leak

I like 2 because you can stand on the tool cabinet and work on it. These are not maintainence free!

From what I have read on the net Daikin, Mitsu and Fuji are the top 3. The reason for this is quality of components including thicker copper in the coils. I have had a Daikin evaporator coil fail at 4 years and a PC board fail right after. Which leads me to wonder should I buy 1 quality unit...

Ever notice the study's never include GAS&GO HEATING AND COOLING doing any repairs?

Keep in mind mini's are, can't think of the word?? The out put varies, starts out low and ramps up to needed out put. For a 9k unit depending on manufacturer can be from 2K to 11K. Mine called for 11k and the closest size was 12K, has been in 4 years and has never run on high, I am sure I...

Coiling lineset vertically has a technical name, it is called an oil trap! If you must coil, coil horizontally but a better solution is to run the lineset in a serpentine manner. Installing a mini is not rocket science but it must be done correctly. Being as I cannot see thousandth's of an...

Been exposed to a bit of tire failure research, so a 6 inch block under a 8" tire is not something I would do. Suppose you would not like my foam ramps either.

Thanks for the input. The 2X8 were cupped so I ran them through the surface planer and then glued with Titebond 3. Then used countersunk bolts, drilling the holes took some doing. I used the bolt instead of screw because something about screws and tires gave me a real bad feeling! In...

I have a big compressor, a small compressor and a tiny compressor for little things, drive a few brads, carry in the RV. Need ear protection with the tiny compressor, horrible. Bought the small compressor 23 years ago and it just went belly up. I bought a HF super quiet 1 gallon and this...

Greetings still involved in my leveling ramp project. Picked up a cheap band saw and has major problems so back to the jig saw. These are 21 inch long and about 6 1/2" at the tallest end. I was going to glue and bolt these together with 5/8 all thread but curious would you use 5/8 dowel...

Rang a bell, remember was told long time ago not to look at HP but go by amps.

Bed liner is a thought, seems some people use the coarse tread product for steps.

Need to cut several blanks 40 inch cut for each blank, for a project out of 2X8 SYP and thinking I will purchase a low dollar band saw. I notice they are rated 1/3, 1/2 HP and found a 1980's Craftsman 12 inch which says 1 HP on it. Saw is a bit rough and needs a upper guide. It is listed for...
