WARNING!!! Bad threads on Interdynamics Arctic Freeze R-134A Refrigerant 13 oz cans!

Check that the threads are rolled properly on the can top before use. I just picked up three at O'reilly's (Checker) that weren't made well. My first clue was when the can blew out of the can tap. I had my hand on the can so I was able to point the 'freeze burn rocket' in a safe direction.

Just inspect the can threads to see if they are rounded and shallow. Return it if they are!

I suspect there will be a recall soon.

Piss poor quality control! :mad2:

Thanks and credit to 94blazer for quickly pointing this defect out after the cloud dissipated.

I use the cheapest generic I can find but thanks for the warning. They do sell that stuff around here too.

At least neither of us ended up with frostbite

I had one blow the fill hose right off a few weeks ago. Luckily it was pointing away from my face.

Just asking this wholesale company if they would export the R 134a to Norway, they said I would have go thru another company.

WarWagon a bit late in the to ask so I hope it was okay to let them know what had happened...

They thank me and said that they will look into it.
