I know it had to ruin his day, but can't help but get a good laugh....No, not my pliers, and not my truck



"Yes I found a pair of pliers. Where you might ask? In the freakin middle of burden near the sonic drive-in. If you think these may belong to you, then email me, and I can meet up with you and demonstrate what a roundhouse kick to the balls feels like. And if your a ballchinian, I can place it right on the ole Adam's apple for ya. I'm sure the condition was a little better before I found them, but that's life, you should have kept them in your damn tool box. And if your one of those crash inc. queers, then I totally understand why they were there in the middle of the road, cuz you prob had them duct taped to a driveline as a balance weight. And you would then get two roundhouse kicks to the balls. Hope to hear from you soon! "

[ilovevocs]

[Big-Foot]

Man that is great... I feel for the guy though... Tire's ruined and the rim may be damaged as well...

 

[djjsr]

I think the tool manufacturer should use that in their advertising.

That's funny, I had the exact same thing happen to me. Back in the eighties, four wheeling down a gravel bar with my new 38 inch Monster Mudders. pliers right in the side wall. Six plugs in it and it never leaked!

I thought I was the only one with luck like that!

 

[NUTTSGT]

Ouch. I'd be pissed myself.

6 plugs in the sidewall and no leak,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I think you are quite lucky


Wouldn't have done that myself but I do a lot of high speed driving

 

[davesnothere]

Haha

 

[4x4gearhead]

I wonder if they are a quality pair, if so could they be warranted? it could help recoop a small part of the tire cost! roflcopter.

A few years ago we were up on the Mogollon Rim for a 3 day fishing trip, looking for a good camp spot away from others my lady friend spots a good place to set up in the pines, so I find a place to turn around. While backing up suddenly.. woosh.. tires flat as can be. Found the only Eye bolt in the National Forest with my sidewall..WTF. Bought the new tires that week.

 

[shift_slide242]

when i was a tire tech years ago i used to see this quite often, usually with screwdrivers in big rig tires but there were the occasional channel locks in a truck tire

 

[CNGsaves]

Like it . . . I really like it !!!

Tire had plenty of good tread so sure he was pissed.

Here's the CL listing for posterity sake.

 

[91bronc300]

Send him an email calling him an a$$hole thief for stealing your pliers and that you're going to roundhouse kick him in the balls unless he pays you for the pliers he ruined.

 

[toomanytoyzz]

I love those type CL ads. Does **** for the guy though. Tires aren't cheap these days.

After driving for 40 years I have hit just about everything in the road that you can think of, my tires have seen it all. I can see how the guy can be upset as someone long ago told me ...**** HAPPENS.

 

[76ginseng]

I found someone's crowbar last year.

I found someone's crowbar last year.

Damn, that would send me off the deep end!

 

[Outlawmws]

I "Found" a screwdriver about twenty years ago like that. I saw it but could not avoid it on a city street; the front tire flipped it up, the back tire ate it straight effin in.

I recovered it thinking "At least let it be worth keeping" Hell no, utter **** quality!

I had to stop twice to air up the damn tire to actualy make it the 2 miles home...

A few years ago on a Triumph ride we had a guy show up on an old Norton. He had a small bag with some tools strapped to the back of the seat. After running some twisties we pulled out onto a main road and then here he comes with it pinned WFO passing all of us...with the tool bag flapping in the wind. I was second from the leader, who was riding a new Sprint ST. A screwdriver came off the Norton and speared right into the Sprint's oil cooler. He looked like something from TV race coverage of a blown engine with a huge plume of smoke and a clear trail of oil pouring out on the road behind him. Both of us were lucky to get to the side of the road without going down in the oil.

Norton man wasn't invited to any other rides...
