Christmas Present

I got to use another one of my Christmas presents today. They are a replacement for my Stanley pliers which were a total piece of crap and broken after a month. Greg recommended these Knipex pliers. I got the Alligator 12″ kn880212 and the Cobra 12″ kn870212. I got to use the Cobra pliers on the air compressor today. Yea!

Air compressor problems

Always a bad sign when the air compressor is at 0 psi. The motor was running and the belt was to loose not pulling the pump. The motor must have vibrated loose because I only could get two screws tightened when I installed months ago.

I got a new shovel for a Christmas present. My trenches are four inches wide and about two inches deep on the shallowest side. I had to grind down the shovel to match the broken one.

I also had two bays to practice on. Which is great.

Hamilton changer problem

The Mars validator is installed upside down which makes the validator and the stacker not fit flush. I was thinking that could be the problem. I pushed the bill stacker up then ran bills and I still could not get it to work over two bills. So this must not be the problem.

I cleaned everything again and I removed all the crap from the wheels and it seemed to help. I will know tomorrow.
