Just badass. No pics of the 'job" but the fill cap... 3/8 pipe thread hex plug all steel filler topper on an old Campbell compressor had been pliered, vice gripped, rounded off with sockets. Pretty much at the "can you weld a nut to it for me" point by the kid who owns it and brought it by here.
One last try first kiddo...( first try for me). I grinned and went in the shop. Grabbed a Proto manual impact driver set and a rack of SK Turbosockets. Wasn't enough room for the Proto hammer thing up against the compressor head so I grabbed a 3/8 breaker bar and the turbosocket and massaged it on with the breaker bar/hammering implement.
One hardyank. Done deal.Loose.
They guy freaked out.WTF is that ?
It's all in the right tools man.
I seldom grab that Turbo rack but it was worth the $150 plus I spent on it several years ago. Turns a potential klustairfukk into a non issue in a few seconds. Used the thing maybe 10 times in a dozen years. Saved me more than a dozen hours of fighting a difficult bolt. I need a bigger set for lugs altho once they piss me off the plasma cutter comes out anyway
