Excellent! A rotary whip with ragged ends. I have a couple nice long cables from a tonner. I was thinking it could unwind up there if you spun it in the wrong direction and then I got to thinking you might have the outer casing involved as well. Pretty much a rotor-rooter, I like it! So after this, it's the pressure test. While the test kit is hooked up a good time for a vinegar soak?
Can't wait to learn about magna-fluxing.
