    Solid advice fellas, I actually heard a story about a guy who was scrapping and somehow managed to get a piece of metal deep inside his ear canal and it got infected and swelled shut, pretty freaky stuff. I'd say some good quality gloves while loading/unloading is a must a lot of the time too, I've gotten opened up on a jagged piece quite a few times. Another thing I'd like to throw out there is to watch out for spiders, for some reason black widows absolutely LOVE to hang out and lay eggs in heat pumps and ACs, I've found two really good sized ones in two separate ACs I've picked up recently, totally different loads. This one came straight out of a pretty old York: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net..._3828699_n.jpg
