Wow -- that's some heavy duty carnage Tim. Glad you got it covered.
-
It’s good you got them fixed. But more importantly, I have those same boots. :93:
-
Is that the first time those prybars have failed on you?
-
I have never seen those before but they look handy as anything. I did a quick search and found gearwrench and Carlisle brands. What kind is yours?

I've had the big one for about 10 years first failure. The little one I've replaced several times. They don't care to be used as striking prybars too often. :))I have never seen those before but they look handy as anything. I did a quick search and found gearwrench and Carlisle brands.

These are Snap-on. For home use I wouldn't hesitate to go with the gear wrench or Carlisle brands. I had a Craftsman made this style as well but I lost it in a field some where. Hope that guy never found it with his bailer....

I've got 2 gear wrench adjustable shoe prybars. They are handy when you need that shoe to move. One I use often expands out to 3 ft long. I haven't used it like mechanic would but I've pulled on it a few times without issue.
Muddy, when those let go did you go flying ?

He's doing good I see him in Facebook regularly.
I mentioned about him being missed on here but no response.

So what piece of junk off the shop floor got the pin out? Thats how it goes with us.
Fancy tools are cool, ones that work make you money. We have buckets of odd junk to hammer on, usually broken bits of other things.

A cheisal and a metal wedge.
Alot of my "drift" punches are old king pins from forklift axles.

That sounds about right. We have steel bars a yard long of varied thickness to smaller stuff dropped randomly about. I dropped all the pins from the old 951 using very few pro tools.
Those were placed in 1970 and all came out. Milimeters at a hit.

I've got that same drift punch assortment. kingpins from F150s up to KWs. and a big hammer. I've got an 8lb sledge with a 10in handle. really handy when you dont have much room but need to smack the heck out of it.

My 4 lb metal handled Estwig usually does the trick. If that doesn't work it usually takes two of us with a sledgehammer. One to hold the drift one to swing
