Well, had a little time off, due to injury. I was working on a commercial RTU and realized I put my temp clamp on the hot gas line, so reached in and went to reposition it on the liquid line...and put my hand right into the condenser fan blade. Over 20 years working on this stuff, never done that before. I wouldn't recommend it. Tried to just wrap it up and go, but thought better of it the next morning (when I was in considerable pain and unable to move my fingers). Several stitches and shots later, and a few days, and the pain has stopped. Still can't move my index finger at all (didn't even try, by doctor's orders). Doc said I should have gone to the ER right away, instead of trying to 'man up'. Go back to doctor tomorrow for a followup. Feel like such a dummy. So, all you techs out there, don't get complacent. You only have to make one mistake. Don't be like me.
Dang man that sucks! I’m glad to hear the doctors were able to help!
Jersey Discount Tool has a vessel screwdriver with interchangeable screwdriver shanks. They’re JIS and it’s all I use on mini splits or rinnai units. No more stripped screws. Almost all Japanese made units are using JIS and most techs don’t know it. Also some of the mini splits that have the hex screw with the “Phillips” in the center are 7mm. That can also be helpful once the “Phillips” is trashed
Thanks awesome! Got a link? Try DMing it though...normally TH-cam bots scrub links.
I have the comfort grip version of the Knipex , since you usually have to put on some clamping force on the screw , that does help a lot .
They've paid for themselves by getting me out of a pinch a few times already.
Just the other day a very stupidly placed service valve cap that wasn't reachable with any adjustable or pliers , since the jaws on these aren't angled they were the only tool that could get the job done !
Excellent point! I've noticed that as well!

Thank you thank you! That’s exactly what I was looking for in the ol mental filing cabinet 😅💯👍
The amount of bs on this stuff is amazing. Stainless on aluminum, terrible idea. Especially with the thermal expansion and contraction just adds to it. They expand and contract at different rates and amounts. Not to mention the chemical reaction factor. It's all a joke. Its so Joever
Yeah those screws where VERY hard to get out. I was glad I remembered those pliers. They were recommended to me by a viewer :)
