That's very good Gill, I'll keep it handy just in case you should need it one day.
Dane how come I should have known you knew what this was? You are absolutely correct this is a device that leads stubborn cattle around by the nose and they usually cooperate very well when it gets used. It'll only clamp down and hurt them if they pull.

Today's project a blown out high side a/c hose.

I bought this little devil at the counter at Harbor Freight and I think I gave about 10 bucks for it and I can't tell you how many times it's gotten stuck bolts loose without going and looking for something bigger like a oxygen acetylene torch.
This is a very good tool. That Allen head bolt that holds that high pressure line to the back of that compressor if you ruin that you're in trouble and it was on their tight tight tight.

Another cool tool the Clamp Tight.
This one side of this Factory crimp had blown out and the O-ring was exposed so I made a relief cut into the crimp so I could push it back together and then I did this.
New Holland wants $320 for this AC line. Pine Bush Equipment wants 180 to cut both metal ends weld on new ones and put a new rubber coupler hose just a little bit longer.
Here's how your first attempt at a fix goes if you're working for a farmer. It won't work on hydraulic pressures that are a thousand PSI but it'll work on that 200 PSI for the high side on this air conditioner, I'm guessing. We wI'll see.
That's why I like working on this farm, he prompts me to fix stuff on the Fly first before spending any real money and you'd be surprised a lot of times a Band-Aid can last for a long long time.

The Magdrill. A magnetic base that u turn on and off with a mac daddy reduction gear and motor and a apropreate big chuck.
This has to be one of my favorite marbles!!

This is a Jabsco. About 1500 bucks. Your local rental store has this usually.

That must be some kind of strong magnet!

If u want to drill big holes quick u have to clamp the base u can overpower the magnet.
Then there is drill bits.
Attachment 15084
When u start getting into bigger holes say north of 1/2 in chrome bits in my humble opinion do not hold a candle to black bits. Black bits r not as brittle and don't heat up. These r Harbor Freight and they r very good bits. I just drilled 10 7/8 holes in 1/2 in steel with one and it's still a good bit.

I can't get away from the thought of using these is some of my scrap metal sculpture. Maybe snakes for a Madusa.
Wadaya think?!

I love Your imagination Joe !

Love your "stuff" Joe...haven't seen a electro mag drill in years. Noticed the C clamp ... the insurance on your hole drilling.
I'am amazed the drill bits from HF are any good at all.
