One tool they probably don't have much call for is the RIDGID SuperFreeze™

If you need to freeze a line just open the door. :D

[Bob D.]

heh. We need a SuperUnfreeze. Dang, Vince, November is coming up quick...

A torch or welding machine will usually get the job done in a pinch.

I bet it does, we don't see those kind of low temps for days on end here, but it has happened in the past (BGW = Before Global Warming). Occasionally we will get temps that never break 20°F for over a month. We' have had (by our standards) cold of below +5°F for days at a time. And since the area is not built for temps that low things start solidifying. We they thaw is when it starts to get fun.

[Vince the Plumber]

you guys are making me Laugh Out Loud. my Tammy thinks i'm losing my mind. she's too late.:D

anyways, here the pics. sorry it's not much, but i like to think than we here @ HUKA are contributing to the northamerican economic recovery.:D

all brand new and they smell like the RIDGID factory.:D

Vince

i have to admit, the plastic oiler bucket was a bit of a little dissapointment. i was expecting good 'ole RIDGID steel. oh well.:D

Depends on what type of plastic I would think.
It might last longer than steel.
I wonder how it will react in the cold.

its probably going to shatter, i'm not going to drop it!!:D

Vince

the worst thing you could ever do up here is, "drop the bucket"

pppppoooooooowwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

:D

I have lived in Yellowknife before (Vince lived there too) and where I live now in northern Alberta it gets almost as cold as it does up there in the winter. Not quite as cold as Rankin but we get our -40 to -50 Celsius or colder with the windchill here. We had a plastic bucket like that at the last company I worked for and it seemed to hack the winters pretty well. Love all those aluminum wrenches! thanks for the pics Vince and make sure no one steals/abuses those tools! Knowing what its like to get stuff in the NWT it will take a while to repair or replace them. Have fun plumbing my fellow Canadian cold-dweller! :D
