What kind of solder did you use? I dunno if I have any solder that's that strong. How about JB Weld? That stuffs pretty strong.
RR, I almost bought an air compressor and impact wrench today. I found an impact wrench with 500 ft-lbs. I think that would do better than the 60 ft-lb air ratchet.
Thanks for the suggestions all (and the emotional support on my other post

)
