dude i want heart-shaped watermelons..

i still remember the cube ones they grew, so they could fit their tiny refrigerators. they're grown in a cube that prevents them from shaping out (www.square-watermelons.com) i bet the heart ones are done via a similar method.

Japanese Find Out How to Make Heart-Shaped Watermelons
By Jason Chen, 4:40 PM on Mon May 11 2009, 7,272 views

Having mastered the art of making square watermelons and even pyramid watermelons, Japanese farmers turned to making heart-shaped watermelons.

These 15,750 yen ($160) watermelons were grown by a couple and took three years to perfect down to the point where they were good enough to convince people to pay $160 for them. There's only 20 melons in this batch, but we're sure Mr. and Mrs. Hiroichi Kimura will grow more next season. [Asahi via Japan Probe via Inventor Spot via Boing

So I've read up on the compressor.. Sounds like its a pretty badass compressor, minus the fact that the hose is "too small for bigger jobs" and that the impact wrench that came with it "should be replaced" lol

So what do I look for in an impact wrench exactly?

<edit>maybe I should get a better hose first and try that..

 

[somejaykid]

get an impact gun that can hold 90 psi cuz that's the psi you will need to take out lug nuts, nuts and everything else man if i wasn't working evening for this whole week i would swing by your crib and give you some pointers on your new compressor lol. and if you do use it for something don't forget to loosen the bolt underneath the tank cuz if you don't it will rust your tank

 

[hkt03]

I'm telling you bro, I had no part in the purchase of that compressor.. If I bought a compressor, you damn straight I would have known all about it before I bought it.

The first time I gave it a try and I said "it doesn't work" my dad flipped out.. hey, I didn't ask for it nor did I really need it lol

Anyway, by the looks of it, with what I have and the money I'm willing to spend this week the coilovers will have to wait. I'll continue to read up on this thing and see what else I should pick up. Some reviews say all I need is a better hose so I'll try that path first

oh.. and anfrey, you were close

 

[somejaykid]

i know this seems like a stupid question but did you put the impact gun and start using it while the compressor is running for the first time?

I did the 15min break in period.. but I read some of the reviews and it doesn't seem like people have much luck removing lug nuts with the hose that came with the compressor
