That's one way to hold a tankless coil in

I've seen many uses for vice-grips but this is special!!

i must say that is an unusual configuration of vice grips..*~/:)

one other observation, that unique placement of an open end spanner with the epoxy honestly never occurred to me either.

i guess i am missing the boat:)

There are somethings money Just cant buy .:)

I went to do an annual service

on an oil fired boiler about fifteen years ago, you guessed it leaking tankless gasket guy wanted it fixed pronto however I had no gasket. He wanted me to just tighten the bolts but looked to corroded to touch told him to leave it be until I got one. Next morning he is in the office tried tightening it himself and you guessed it he broke a bolt. I swung by and popped on a pair of Vise Grips ordered the gasket the Vise Grips are still there he just likes the reminder.

what do u guys do when the bolts snap??? do you drill and retap? or use some kind of screw extractor?

Bruce Stevens

In a WM

I drill a small hole in the center of the bolt and spray PB Blaster in the hole and outside if enough stud is outside I clamp on vise grips and tap until it loosens, if not so lucky drill bigger and try extractor if still no luck drill bigger and dig the threads out, rarely do I have to re-tap.
