I am 165 lbs and ... feel like 85 years old most of the time lol. Thanks for the great advice JR. I went to airgas today and their largest 5' tall nitro tank run $300 to purchase then $30 to exchange the tank. I have an open trailer so I have to figure some ways to lay tank flat for transport and dolly around while on track. I can charge 50 cents for balloons ... wait, that's helium

Never one to discourage anyone else in the accumulation of more tools. And if you've got lot's of support, more power to you. But as someone who has lugged nitrogen bottles around for 8 years during our karting days, then more recently while running the F1600 and Cup car, if I can avoid messing with it I will. Just the trips to the welding center for refills suck up an hour and a half.
Meanwhile, a 40" 3/4"breaker bar removes center locks pretty easily. costs $50, lasts forever, never needs calibration or refills. Buy a nice 3/4" torque wrench for tightening if you like, but the breaker bar also torques them up pretty close as well once you get used to it. Just sayin'

I ordered a T at the nitrogen tank and will split one side for high pressure air jacka nd the other for air impact wrench.
Now I can't find the freaking fitting for Staubli JACO6 lance for the hose. It has some odd ball G3/8 thread and I check 20 local shops and they look at it like if it was from out of space
