So many times ive lost my wire cutters after just using them to only find them days later. last time i lost them i was driving and went around a sharp turn and they fell off my bumper and slid onto the shoulder. i got them on the way back and found 20ft of house wire half burried in the gravel. alright! 50 cents lol
Whoo boy .... i can relate. Was always setting my gloves or a tape measure on the bumper when i was pounding nails for a living. That last hour of the workday was where i made most of my mistakes. Was tired and that end of the day panic to get everything wrapped up was setting in. Even lost my hat one day.



The nice thing about the scrapping work is that you don't have to be very fussy when you're doing your teardown. It's not like you're ever have to put it back together again. I've watched those guys from Pakistan and India on youtube. Give em' a big hammer and a cold chisel ... they can dismantle just about anything. Myself ... i'm one of those lazy/rich/ spoiled Americans. The backhoe at work can dismantle a washer & dryer in less than three minutes. Just grab it between the back bucket and the thumb ... give it a good shake ... and the whole works comes flying apart.
