Stop fitting your gauge to it or you will mess the charge up, the 20g or 30g you can lose will soon make the system run like it has a leak. If you are worried about your repair leaking, turn the system off and test the repair with some soapy water.

Check out a Hazet 916K, just got one as a birthday present. Very happy with it though not had a chance to use it much yet.

Just follow the manufacturers instructions for draining. I have never seen a mini split that requires a vent on the drain line.

Could you make and fit a sandwich plate between the castor and cabinet that spans the gap, using the castors bolt holes? You'd need to pack the end castors the same thickness. It would leave the cabinets unmarked should you wish to split them in future.

Compressor tote, fan blade puller. Anything torx. Flag terminal crimper. Fire extinguisher...

This^ -14.7 psi is not going to leak check a system that can run over 600psi in heating mode. Also if there is a leak in the line set the vacuum will pull the insulation over the hole and it can appear ok. R410A and POE oil can dissolve plumbing solder, plus the flux used can get in the pipe...

I tried using some refrigeration compressor poe oil once and couldn't get the drill to bite at all. Lesson learned!

I mostly wear handmax gloves now, when they get dirty or oily i put them in the wash. Recently I won some nitrile gloves in a magazine give away, they are made by 'Black Mamba'! They are the toughest disposable glove i have used. https://blackmambagloves.com/

Watched the vid, seems to me the 'correct' way to use them is wrong, surely the moving jaw should have the load applied nearest to the slide for less leverage on the presumed weakest jaw? Either way i have been using mine whichever way they fit best and often end up swapping from correct to...

Its most likely due to corrosion of some sort, solder is no go, it needs to be brazed if you decide to repair it. I'd braze it up but i have all the tools needed to do so. Your money would be better spent fitting a new coil as it could well leak somewhere else next month (or not, no way of...

Makes me wonder if the use the same size head from the next size up and broach it smaller. I mainly use 8mm on electrical stuff so clearance could be an issue with the newer version, not keen tbh.

They would be for diesel or petrol/gas. We get the same style ones here, they come in 5L, 10L and 20L sizes. Don't forget to get a spout to go with it if you buy one. A water container would be plastic, or stainless if you have more money than sense :lol:

Can you remote mount the sensor? Have done that in certain situations.

Either a console unit or certain models of under ceiling unit can be floor mounted. The high wall unit would be cheaper and probably better anyway blowing along the longest run rather than across it.

Car exhaust pipe cutter, the ones like a chain with lots of cutting wheels.

In that case keep the one your gf bought you :thumbup:

Just made a new 6 cell battery for my cheap flash light, got some AA sized Ni-MH with tabs on and soldered them together, used heat shrink to keep it all insulated. First time i tried something like it and it wasn't difficult.

Keep them both! Alternate usage.

Old English White, you could then go two tone colour like the old mini coopers.

This is the stuff i use, http://old.plastidip.co.uk/estore/index.cfm?Plastidip_Liquid_Electrical_Tape_-118ml&stage=3&colour=Black,Red&pid=PDL-0019&CFID=73868594&CFTOKEN=1b0e7684737a812e-AA3DF2D5-0EBA-085D-C60699A282C2D41B&jsessionid=843068a572f7069c5cba5e176d6f293e732c Mainly for...
