I'd like to try the mini ductor as SID linked. Sid have you used that?



No.... I haven't use one yet,,,,The price is a little spendy for me...I have too much other diag stuff higher up on the "neverending always growing" list, don't know if I'll ever get on at that price..... Over the years I've spent well over 100k and the list is longer now than when I 1st started..........wtf!!!!!!! Sly
Where I'm at rust really isn't a problem, so that's why it's down there on the list....

I've never tried the cold method so will definitely give it a shot.....The penetrating oil with the refrigerant is a great idea..... If PB comes out with one, it'll probably be top of my list...Their penetrating oil is the best I've ever used....hands down....

If you search U tube, I believe there is a clip somewhere where someone uses it on a Dr Pepper can....Pops that can pretty good.............lmao

Rust is major where I am and like the tool Sidom showed. Would be in my collection if still aggressively working even at the insane price. I pretty good at oxy/acet smallest tip for tight areas w/o harming surrounding items. Haven't blown a vehicle up yet.

PB rocks for sure. Just FYI unless they changed tip the brand Gummout with nozzle fit the PB can so you can target just what you want instead of a whole mess. Real bad stuff can take a while for it to do its job but is the best. Duh - heat not for fuel anythings nor too near fuel carrying items. Haven't used the cold method ever but like the idea too for rust but will use a freezer to install a bearing race or something with great success,

OK, I removed all the nonsense and opened it back up again (for now).
