Back to where i left off at post 80:
Woke up the day after i posted about not being able to cut thru the bolts, i put so much force into trying to make the cuts i musta pulled some muscles because i hurt pretty bad for a couple days..
So Sunday it was apparent i could not buy a functioning torch to save my life so i called it quits for the day.
Monday i headed Harbor Freight to look at and bought a new floor jack, the jack i have would lift fine but the release screw would stick bad so every time i tried to let it down easy it took too so much force to turn the handle more often than not it would drop hard, just too dangerous when setting jack stands ect. Bought the 4T model from Pittsburgh, it seems like its a nice jack but i haven't used it just yet...

Then i went to a local welding place with the intent of buying a Victor torch set, the set i wanted including the one time purchase of full bottles took me to over $600, and there was a also little voice in my head that kept repeating the words Plasma....Plasma...Plasma.... I have used them before so i started asking about Plasma cutters that would also fit my needs, drawbacks, requirements ect. the only thing it won't do for me is braze welding and heating rusted bolts, but it cuts much nicer than a torch.. So for a little less than double the cost of the torch set i came home with one of these, made in America and they also make the Miller plasma cutters as well (per the sales guy) so consumables shouldn't be a problem. I've needed a cutter for years so figured now would be a good time

Moisture on the other hand would be a problem so i bought another filter water separators for my compressor on the way home and i promptly grabbed the wrong thread and have to exchange it tomorrow.
I also gave in and ordered longer front brake lines as well, it was a frekin expensive day! I'll be paying for this for quite a while....
But i'll be back at it pretty soon.. everyone needs a break now and then..
