I've got both. I've got two big ones and I just bought the mini one for the extention. Problem is I can't get it tight. Is it supposed to be jam nut style?. I sure as heck can.t get the big ones in the drill(reason for the extention) now I can't get the extention to tighten up to the mini ball. Please help!!!!ConfusedConfused

I know it's late here on the east cost. I have to go to bed and I guess you all are to. I'll get an answer tomorrow. By the way it's the Mothers powerball mini.Sleepy

zgator,

Sorry, I was putting a new A/C system in my dad's 89 Chevy P/U.  I have the mini, but was not impressed with it.  I too could not get it to tighten up.  I even put on a welding glove to try and hold the ball, but couldn't get it tight.  I'm not sure it was worth the hype.  I've gone back to two rags.  I got some new stuff (new to me) from a friend of mine, but it's out in the barn so I'll get you the name of it tomorrow.

As for the ball.  Good luck!  I'll monkey around with mine some more to see if there is a way to get it tight.

If I can't get it tight I'm taking it back. Those things are $18.00 they should work.
