I have no affiliation, just found it cool.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

There is a VERY good reason those aren't seen every day any more.  That reason is OSHA.

Used to be one in the scrap yard of Kodak here, only one man in the yard was allowed to operate it, and he EARNED every cent Kodak paid him clipping scrap into 35" lengths all day 5 days a week.

One foot slip and he would have been a cripple in a second.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance!

I don't think it would fit into the back of my truck.

Like nail clippers, only slightly larger...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
