Jezzzzzus criminyy, I hate computers. Takes me a day to remember how I screwed it up in the first place. DARN these blasted things.


Here's a couple of hickey's next to some benders.
Look to the left. See what I mean now?

There is a fine trick to that. No-one, absolutely no-one uses my test equipment. If, and only if, you use my tooling, you borrow them as you would my better half:D That's lightly, and you'll be lucky if I allow it. It's called obsessive-compulsive. I take care of my equipment like you would watch over your children. I clean my tools after every job. I am not full of money, therefore I shelter my tooling. If you saw my test equipment, you would sware they were never used. God bless Goo-Gone:D

Again, obsessive-compulsive:roll: I know I am not thee only one!!!!

I know a picture I'm going to take tomorrow. :cool: Benders that were left out in the rain for days, benders "borrowed" and used to bend rebar, benders with handles bent by who know's what, etc. How does a guy manage to bend the handle on a 1-1/4" EMT bender, anyhow?

You forget, you guys/gals install, my gig is to come in and repair it when it calls for it. You guys/gals do construction, I do maintenance. You batter your tools while mine collects dust:grin:

I know how you are... my 12-year old Fluke 87 still has the protective plastic coating on the screen. No kidding!

I am a small guy at 155 lbs.. I can't do much with 1.25" pipe unless it's by foot.
 
Hickies are great when you are installing pipe in an existing structure, as you can finess it a little more to make it fit such as around a footing or such.

Let's restart this. How many of you still utilize a hickey from time to time?

Time to time we do use them-especially to straighten out underground,they still have there place in the industry...
