how come you didn't show the repair? Steel line too long?
UGLY!
no
In a certain primitive caribbean country west indies that pounding is music to the locals
i just used one to repair an ac line on my car. i didn't use the little collars though. instead i flared my lines and used o-rings. reason i flared the lines is because it was the high pressure line so wasn't taking any chances of it coming undone

That’s just a plumbing compression union. Great idea to fix my tranny lines now with same size copper pipe!
Where can you get a conversion kit. I can't find one for my 89 S10 blazer 2 door
A 10 pack of Purple C3 Tungstens are $60 @ Praxair! I have no idea where you got $17 for a 7 pack of Tungstens. 🤣
Short video on this lol
I cud hide a magnet in my glove 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow! So wrong! Stick to cars, not acoustics!
So you don't need to flair the ends of the lines?
We use them on steam tracing so if they will hold steam they'll hold anything
How you supposed to find the right one for you vehicle?
Thanks for the video. I helped save me a lot of money and I was able to resolve my issue. In my case, the cutter didn't work so I had to use a Dremel to cut through the steel lines, regardless, this was a great idea!
That is 3/8 fitting. Can that be used on a 10mm tube? 5/16 on 8mm too? With that compression sleeve.
Just replace the lines...It might be a pain in the ass but it'll hold up indefinitely
A compression fitting is literally stronger then the rest of the lines if you aren't using hydraulics...🤣.. why replace the entire rest of the line that hasnt failed, when you can replace a the damaged segment and be done with it?🤷🤦
I've worked in hydraulics and fluid conveying products industry for 15 years and these compression fittings will not leak. 50 psi is NOT that high of pressure!! Compared to a carb yes, your water pressure at your home is 60 on average, think about that for a sec. These compression fittings if brass will easily withstand 200psi. The No.1 most common reason these leak is from over tightening. Less is more with these, you do not tighten these up to the nut!! Hand tight and 1 full turn is all that is required. Your seal is made on the ferrule with these, when you overtighten you deform / crush that ferrule causing a leak. Also make sure the ferrule is facing in the right direction when installing! This is just my $.02 but I've been doing this for quite some time working with Aeroquip in both their high performance and industrial lines so tend to think I know what I'm talking about. Hydraulics 3,000 psi with this style connection, they work!
Why do some compression fittings come with little stems/tubes that slide into the line that you are joining....I've always wondered why some have them and others dont.
Awesome thanks for the knowledge
There used to be a kit for doing a headlight drop, it came with a couple brackets and a template, i think chevy/GMC went to the 1 piece grill in 91, so last 3 years of the gen 1.
I am just wondering how the a/c condenser fits with the rad forward into the support. I am going V8 soon and i have a sanden compressor setup working tits and it's going to stay, so prolly not LS power, that and so-cal smog requirments..... She starts crying :(

Does this unthread clockwise ? To the right ?
Where can I buy the 1st generation 89 GMC S-10 grille. Have to replace one
This video is rather dangerous to have posted and lacks needed information, compression fittings are NOT for use in ANYTHING with high pressure that means transmission lines too, the average trans mission fluid pumps at 300PSI at only 1500RPM

Thanks for the video. This helped the lube guys figure out how to drain mine.
I went through 100 video to find yours..Thank You!
Good video I have a hole in my trans lines. New subscriber here 👍
Everlast makes some of the best affordable welders.
This is the most fucked up explanation I've ever experienced in my life
Answered my question, thanks!
It would be better if you do it instead of explaining how to.
Very useful my 2002 Chevy trailblazer has a leak in low spot on transmission cooler lines that part makes sense. instructions for replacement include dropping the tranny and part of the exhaust insanity, I can barely get my hand in there forget about fishing for C clips. Much easier to take lines from radiator to last leaky point of lines they are pretty rusted and I’d like to get as much good line in as possible then install the compression fittings. Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction 👍🏻
rip vista user on another note thanks for the video
I really wish people would stop clamping hydraulic lines on radiator with hose clamp. It’s 1000% failure rate. My friends truck is here now and we can’t even get the lines hence why I’m considering compression fittings as it needs to be tight. I’ve seen so many like this and it ends in a puddle. I normally buy new lines but this vehicle id have to custom make them so im thinking this is better than spend a ton and it should be secure. Kinda getting ideas. Long as it’s actually tight for these people. Young family, they can’t be getting stuck like that. Bad enough I had to pour in 3 qt fluid and tighten that clamp enough to ease over to my yard to fix it. Poor family was devastated would not move as fluid poured and smoked.
I've got one of these welders. Very good for the money and handy to have around.
Are all the terminals the same for all fuseboxes and car manufacturers?In other words,will a minifuse terminal for a GNC be the same terminal for a minifuse in a Ford?
I have several Carlyle tools as good as most truck tools at a third the price with lifetime warranty and a napa store just about everywhere
Smart choice, why do people use clamps for trans and risk it leaking and burning up a very expensive trans compression fittings are the best
ray ray. I here all though ive used rubber transmission line to fix power steering amd tranny lines with 2 clamps on each end amd never had any issues
Yeah I’m dealing with one for a friend that it pop off with hose clamp. I’m considering compression fittings as they don’t make the lines even in aftermarket on this vehicle so was told to go have custom made lines. Too much money. Kicking around ideas here tonight as to what fitting system I want. Even junkyard they don’t have lines. I’m pretty close! Want everything threaded and locked so this don’t pop in future. Fix it once and done. They were kinda sad it pop off and 3 quart fluid spewed out and it wouldn’t move so I came to rescue. I had that exact same issue myself on a Jeep couple years back again someone cut the factory ends and use clamps. Should be outlawed! Lol. Horrible how often it’s done they clamp to the radiator and it never lasts.
Hate to tell you compression fittings should not be used
Um....dude....do you know how acoustics work? hitting something at the center as supposed to the corner will create a different acoustic response when you hit on it. You're also showing places of denser metal, where they've bent it and it isn't just a flat plane. I don't think this is the best advice you could give people to find bondo.
Patrick Pugh exactly what I was gonna say v
Lol. Judging by the fact he took the time to create this filth and to then post it on the internet, there's no helping this man no matter what way you go about explaining it to him.
Why don't you make your videos a little closer to the airport, can't hear the jets too well especially when you are constantly mumbling.
Looks good
Yeah not sure what was going on my standard gas lens I run 12-15 but this I had to turn up? I was pretty low on argon in the tank not sure if that effects anything?
SuperMrCARBON usually it dosnt affect gas flow (cfm) unless your damn near empty. i do turn it up a bit for stainless
just got this set up it works amazing I did have to turn my argon flow up though?
SuperMrCARBON i tend to run around 12-15 cfm for most welding. this may vary depending on alot of things like tungsten stickout, weld joint type, etc.
yea nice work there if anyone want to buy some new tools come to this site www.handtoolsforless.com/ u will find nice tools at genuine price
I picked up a 92 GM grill for my 88 recently, measured it up and figured i would just crop the headlight supports out with a body saw, drop them down 3/8" and weld or pop rivet them back in. Crop and drop looks easier to me than a rad support swap.
Thanks for the video. I'm getting ready to replace some old and worn out tools. This video is very helpful, thank you!
