Not sure. The customer was quite a bit older.
It took counting the six items, $5 at a time, to reach $30, then the customer shook her head, gave up, oh whatever.

It's amazing how some people get so stuck on believing they're right, that they can't fathom anything to the contrary.
I try to keep things like that in the back of my head for when I'm 100% sure about something myself

Our maintenance guys will happily abuse those. This drill spent all winter on a roof after they forgot the last bucket of tools when they finished. Surprisingly it still kind of worked and Milwaukee did warranty it.
I don't have any pictures of it but I still remember watching a rig tool pusher come flying out of the dog house, run down the stairs, and chucking what looked like a Roman candle outside the containment. Turned out to be a 18v Milwaukee grease gun that the batteries decided to melt down on.

Winner!Do I see an electrical split-bolt in the blob?
Underground ventilation fan, 150 hp.
3/0 teck cable feeding it. Whoever did the connection didn't use two wrenches and "tighten it until you think it might be stripped!"
They probably used one wrench and relied on the wire to hold the bolt from rotating.
Termination boots were used with the wires entering from above, so when the last 2 inches of wires turned melty, the whole mess dripped into the bottom of the boot like a mold. Boots pictured below, just a hollow rubber tube that's closed at one end, used to insulate without the need for a shitload of rubber electrical tape.
For those of you who don't know, the "split bolt" is an electrical device used to bolt two or more wires together. If you don't have a good tight connection then you make heat. Stick welding is literally a poor electrical connection making heat.

Haha yeah I bent the bastard pretty good. My new to me forklift has shitty forks. Stole my trusted set off the yota. Didn’t realize how much beefier they are.
I put a 4” bend in that guy.

If one fork breaks, that is likely to tip, if one spring on the truck breaks, it wont drop much if its already on the bumps :D
