1987? Good thing you weren’t in MilwaukeeI broke down while I was there in 1987. Transmission fluid all over the ground.
I hitchhiked to an auto parts store and bought some rubber hose and clamps. One of the transmission cooler lines had burst. Got it repaired and took my ass back to Bama.
I was a just a kid, got in the car with a guy that took me to the store. One of the dumbest things I ever did. Guy could’ve robbed, killed me and no one would’ve ever known.
When you get older you look back on your life and see how things could’ve easily ended and by nothing but the will of God it didn’t.
Tools you want

So I got a hell of a deal last year on 2 Nibco pro press guns and jaw sets, $1500.00 for both sets. One is the full size beast and the other is a compact model that does up to 1" Dude was an old co-worker who became a rep for them, and then quit.
Anyways, with the amount of gas we've been doing lately I have 3 ridgid pro press guns and 3 of the mega press jaw sets. Well today i needed one of the mega press sets and ridgid guns. I keep the Large nibco and jaws on my little work truck. I had done sent everyone out for the day this morning and forgot to ask one of the guys for their ridgid gun and mega press jaws. So i went on Nibcos website to see if they offer a gas jaw set for their guns. Well, they make Carbon G fittings, but i didnt see a jaw set offered for their guns for carbon fittings, just copper fittings. So i called them and they told me they do not make jaws for their guns for carbon fittings. He said that the Ridgid AND milwaukee carbon jaws fit their nibco gun and they have no plans to make their own because of that. I found that really interesting. I really didnt want to have to buy another mega press jaw set. I have 3 of them, but a personal set on my little work truck would be nice. I have too much on my mind constantly to remember everything i need daily. So annoying. pictured are the 2 guns i bought from him. he gave me a bunch of their products as well. 2 huge tubs full.
