Title: Re-purpose Your Alligators
Post by: Lewill2 on May 07, 2012, 01:02:26 PM

This guy has a new way to increase the value of his alligator wrenches, I hope he doesn't find Papaw's stash.

It's very illuminating....

When the gator jaw chews through the cord, it will be electrifying.

When the user switches it on, he will have a wrenching experience...

Dang !! Wish I hadnt shown that to my wife.

Seems like now I am signed up for a welding glass and she is going thru my um "collection"(my words),  looking for "potential art" (her words)...

But then again, she is telling you to take up another skill set. You can slow down the learning until she has forgotten that ugly lamp! And you will know how to weld.
