I think I would have done something like this. Eliminating the small high pressure copper line to the regulator.

So what brand of power tool do you recommend as a top quality, money is no object?

There are no "lifetime" tools appliances, boilers, vehicles, hand tools, computers, smart phones, etc built anywhere for any money.

Who would build such a product? Consumers want the newest, latest technology.

I'm 90% cordless tools now, no way I would go back to a corded saw of any type regardless of how well it is built.

If you use tools to make you living, you are not sending it to a repair shop for weeks, even if repair parts are available. I've tried taking some of my older power tools in to one of the few remaining tool repair shops. Unless they have a pile of old donor to rob parts from, they send you shopping. You replace the tool and that is a cost of doing business. Hard to find any repair shop working for under 50 bucks an hour around here, even paying the diagnostic fee rarely pays off.

I buy "out of the box" power tools online to get the best possible prices.

@pecmsg ...we were one of MAYBE 5 Irish Families on the New side of How'beach....many fistfights...especially on St Patricks Day..... We played Lynvets Pop Warner Football against eachother, Ozone-Howard LL Baseball, Saluggi, & kill the carrier in the asphalt school yard.

We had sleepovers, BBQs- and Sunday Macaronis together…We also had fistfights atleast once a week...with our friends!!! Great neighborhood to grow up in...very safe...NYPD was rarely called...we looked after eachother... Wiseguy or Law abiding...we were a tight neighborhood I miss those days....Mad Dog

Very easy to get the rat population under control....$25 bounty each carcass.....just like the phyton problem in the Everglades...ordinary people will solve "intractable" problems for $$$. Just get out of their way.

Aside of employing that approach, this is a solid idea....Mad Dog

The boys in Brooklyn know how to take care of rats

A shop vac is good for removing water from low spots too.

Brand loyalty is a two-way street , Eddie...Mad Dog

could always buy it now and hang on to it. not sure what is going to happen that requires refrigerant though other than a leak.
