I CANNOT HANDLE BEING CALLED OUT ON MY DUMBASS OPINIONS ABOUT ANTI-VIRUS AND SECURITY. I REALLY LIKE TO THINK THAT I KNOW THINGS HERE

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE

Where's the 30lb breaker bar with a 200lb man jumping on it? I have actually done that, a lot, but it was to move concrete not lug nuts.

Just before reading the service manual and discovering that those bolts have a left-hand thread.

There's a park in Kansas City that has about 40 acres of virgin prairie (never been plowed or planted) which is maintained by Kansas City Power & Light because electrical lines run over it and they cut down any invasive trees.

I did that plunge-cutting into lineoleum with a circular saw I borrowed from my neighbor. My wife and I had been arguing about doing the floor ourselves or hiring said neighbor (who was a general contractor to do it). I was cutting a triangle so I could start cutting the floor out. First two plunge cuts went fine, third plunge cut kicked back and ate straight up my femoral artery before my jeans finally bound it up. I had the guard set such that I got scrapes along the skin, nothing more. The cut was about 14 inches long.

I wordlessly walked to my neighbors house with my shredded jeans exposing my underwear and told him he was doing the flooring. It was an extremely surreal moment.

Let's get drunk and kiss each other all night.
The neighbour across the way was using a circular saw like that to prune branches off his tree, with the guard ziptied back. On the top of a rickety ladder on uneven grass. I just kind of watched for a little bit and then just decided to go inside because I didn't want to see something I could not forget.

There were no sirens/ambulances so I assume it went ok!

Unless the reason you don't have one is that your father-in-law has one so that basically means you have one.

I had plenty of other tools and I had just moved into the house. I just specifically didn't have a circular saw and he had like 12 of them.

I went to a call as a first responder where a guy had been doing exactly that but add in doing it directly beside an empty swimming pool.

It did not go okay.

Friend of mine did that when he was a builder's apprentice, 19 years old. Opened himself up from kneecap to hip bone. Luckily he missed everything vital, and he was walking again two or three months later.

Just don't risk it folks.

My stepfather nailgunned his hand to a rafter then kicked the ladder out. Of course he fell but the nail really did a number internally to his hand. Then landing on the ladder made his back never ok again.

I was a kid and gleefully laughing my rear end off watchign it all unfold without knowing the reality of it all.

This was around the same time he found me in the corner of the jobsite in shock after my first hammer + ramset charge experience.

I have never seen a crane attachment like that for a forklift/skid steer. Is it mounted on the forks?

Yep. They’re generally chained to the backrest as well, so it’s not going to just slide off.
