You'd have some really nice jugs, though.

I hear you, with the explosion of mixtures and blends. It's
not like the old days. I've specialized a bit, and only
carry a couple refrigerants in my work pinto.

I used a small can of one of the R12 replacements that was
specifically
sold for use in household ref/freezer applications. I'm
thinking it was
414A, but I wouldn't swear to it. Anyway, I just used a side
puncture
can tap and it worked fine. If you bought a jug of every
single R12
supposedly drop-in that is on the market, you'd be hard
pressed to fit
them all in an empty service van-- definitely wouldn't fit
in a Pinto,
even a wagon. Larry

I do kind of wonder why you are in HVAC in the first place. If you are a
locksmith, there can't be much time for HVAC. 3 or 4 hours in rekeying
cars in a Repo lot should net you around a $1000. One car opening would
bring in $85 and upward. Nose opening safe deposit boxes for the bank is
about 3 minutes each and $35 a box with a minimum of $350. a 5 minute
job of impressioning a lock is $75. Recombinating
safes for businesses is $150 each and takes about 6 minutes. Opening
a home file/fire safe is $300. Opening a large Diebold would run about
$1,000 to $2,500 each You can start at $10 grand for a full vault. Home
openings run about $85.00 upward. You don't need the investment in
equipment that you have for HVAC and you can haul most of the tools
around in your pocket Or Pinto glovebox. Insurance and certification at
ALOHA is very cheap in comparison to what we pay. Nobody cares how you
got to the job. You can actually do calls on a bicycle. Locks don't
change much and the Feds are not dictating your business and licensing
is sketchy.

For whatever reason, the locksmith biz doesn't make the
phone ring enough to keep me alive. But, the ad under
refrigerators repair helps keep me busy. I think your price
schedule is a bit more than what I can get around here.

Do you have a yellow page ad and are you registered with ALOHA?
