You ever try to drill flanges while high on meth?

Most likely all stolen

During the second World War, the demand was so great for boats, that the workers clamped the sheets of steel together and welded them up, never to see the light of day, true story. I am sure the hull of those boats, if any are left could tell some great stories. Cheaper to weld up the vise grips back then.

So now instead of watching for people buying large amounts of Sudafed, law enforcement will be watching for people buying large amounts of vicegrips. How many members on this board need to be afraid?

I could be indicted just based on my HJE order history.

People on drugs do crazy things with tools.

I saw a house where after the tenants had their power shut off they ripped the meter off from the socket and jammed two screwdrivers into the housing to act as jumpers.

Ha, how do you even get that many vice grips? "Hey man, run down to Harbor Freight and pick me up 200...no...400 vice grips"

We even have our own thread concerning the cost of tools vs the cost of service.

The ROI on locking pliers is now 1000%

 

[paulsomlo]

Are you certain?

Pretty much... but only on principle.
