    Exactly and it’s crazy cause I only know this stuff cause I get curious and start taking stuff apart and learning about it but my biggest motivation is not having enough money to pay someone to rebuild my stuff or install my upgrades haha

    You may spend a lot , most tools can do it but not safely. My compressor can do it , its just VERY dangerous.
