Good! I had the "pleasure" with some people that could benefit from a scratch and sniff sticker at the bottom of a deep pool

DEEP in the rusty rust of rust belt
A co-worker of mine almost got shredded to tiny littler ribbons. He tagged out and locked out a wire chopping machine and was INSIDE OF IT when some loser saw the tag and the lock and proceeded to cut the tag and the lock off because he needed to work.
Well this is NY state and that is a crime here and genius of the year was on parole.

My pocket kit will handle 95% of the trouble calls I take, for the rest I'll go to my toolbox.

Do you not carry a tire checker with you to encourage people to respect tagout and lockout procedures ?

When I first started working full-time (1984) we were developing industrial robot welding cells... the first day I got the lock-out speech. Mess with a lockout tag and they walked you to HR for your check and out the door right then whatever your job was...

I see. Actually seems better suited for encouragement or persuasion.
If this is common practice for checking tire pressures it might explain all the truck tire treads littering highways. For the first time in 50+ years of driving I witnessed a truck tire disintegrate a few months ago, pretty dramatic.

A hammer or weighted dowel also works. Just something to gauge the bounce of each tire in relation to its peers. Saves pulling out a tire gauge every morning. The road alligators you've seen probably come from older re-caps going away.

They're very important for rigs with duallies. A single tire in a pair can be almost entirely flat and you won't see it in a visual check, as the other tire bears the weight.

Once you get the feel of it, you can pretty well tell the tire pressure to within a few psi.

I bought one of these thinking it could be good to have my common tools for trouble calls my pocket kit can't handle, it just arrived and holy **** it's huge 😂 This thing looks like it will hold as much as my first toolbox did. It's as big as my laptop backpack and probably larger in volume.
