    Actually, I usually cut thru the cord by accident before the cord can break. I've gotten used to feeling my way to the fuse box to reset the breaker.

    Surprisingly I've never done that . I have yanked on the OA hose around a sharp edge that wasn't knocked down enough and ripped hoses clear open a couple of times though.

    In the later years I perfected the snake roll to get the hose where I wanted it

    Btw how's your sheet metal work @koditten ? Deff not one of my strong attributes just due to lack of experience doing it.


    Want to bend some to install lights on the bed rack to make the truck visible at night during recovery attempts from all angles

    First time using a port a band. Cutting some thin wall conduit that was clamped in the vice. This is the 1st time me using the the saw and the 1st cut of the brand new saw.

    I'm simply amazed at how fast the saw is cutting thru the tube. I'm not supporting the weight of the saw at all. When the saw cut all the way thru, I was surprised how heavy it was. Finger is still on the trigger and I cut right thru the brand new power cord as the saw swung down. Pops the breaker.

    Of course my plug is on the same circuit as the lights.

    I'm standing in the dark giggling at how stupid I am.

    Of course the arcing cord put a divot in the brand new saw blade.

    That cord was too long anyways.
