Okay, I'm not a professional mechanic, just your average "shade tree" variety, and I've never seen fit to go out and buy a compressor and a bunch of air tools. A few months back, a friend gave me an old compressor he came across that needed a new motor and I just happened to have a nice 1.5 HP single-phase laying around.



Well, yesterday being Fathers Day, this is what my wife and 2-year old son picked out for me! I took it out to the garage and double-nutted the rusty studs on an old turbo manifold and yanked 'em right out just fer kicks. This thing is great!

Breaker bar and a pipe. The breaker bar isn't the exciting part, its the pipe that goes over it.

Ahhh yes! The breaker bar/pipe combo its like a bolt breaking sex act! Only with more bolt breaking and less of 'the sex'.
