You don't believe in planned obsolescence?

You will be disappointed with either of those choices. S L O W. The 8 and 9n were rated at 24 hp which was about as honest as the tonnage rating of splitters. Some of the old cubs were rated as low as 14hp.
A Case vac or vc was also rated at 24hp and would FAR outwork either of those. Just a heads up.
If you buy good boots and shoes with stitched assembly, (like Red Wings), you should be able to find a repair shop if you dig. Modern glue assembly doesn't lend itself to such consumer activism.
I'd buy a pair of used Red wings or Chippewa's from the Goodwill before spending $200+ for new junk.

Not always! I have a pair of stitched hiking boots from LL Bean that were starting to come apart.. I wanted to get them resoled and the stitching repaired (the very reason I bought stitched boots in the first place). I took them to the Delmar "Bootery" in Albany.. they wouldn't touch them. Maybe I'll try another place.
Bean has a lifetime warranty - give them a call.
More so becuase of it's use as a propellant than in refrigeration.And R12 was an environmental issue. Same same.
When I bought them, the salesperson explained that the lifetime warranty was for the reasonable life of the product, not forever. I can't argue with that, it seems reasonable to me, which I why I didn't try to contact them. When they started falling apart they were already about 8 years old.. its been even longer now. I have returned stuff to LL Bean which I didn't feel lived up to its lifetime. I might give the local guy a try.

And Dow had new patents on refrigerants that they actually lobbied for the phasing out, same goes for R-22.
If we used the same recapture\recycle technology and refrigeration licensing as is in place today I doubt there would be any new holes in the ozone layer
I've half tried fixing mine,some of it is sealed, so when you break the seal I think it would leak.
Maybe super glue, but thats pretty toxic stuff. Oh well, Thats why its a throw away in company opinion.
Ashame though.
