I know this post is old but I thought I would chime in on S-K tools. I can't say anything about the newer tools since I've never used them but the old ones are as good as anything out there. Mine are all 50+ years old and I've never broken a single one. I have the same 7-piece socket set like in...
If the magnet hooks to something that is stuck in the muck and won't come out, I can always pull hard enough to break the magnetic connection free. If the grappling hook does the same, I have a 4 ton Come Along winch.
That's fantastic. I was thinking you were going to say a dead horse. We pulled a bunch of dead deer out of the water too. Someone was dumping those as well.
The spot where we are is technically a "Creek" but a river feeds into it about a mile upstream so we just call it all a river. It floods quite often and gets up to 25ft. deep.
Judging by how deteriorated the Jackhammers are I'd say they've been in there longer than THAT safe. I did find the door to another safe which is just as crusty as the jackhammers. We've only checked a 50ft. section of the river and we've found so much stuff. We've been pulling out parts from at...
We also found two more newer cash registers(empty), along with a change machine full of quarters, a Beretta 84F barrel, a western model L66 knife, a whole Nissan Z engine, sunken axe cut timber, and parts from multiple vehicles.
