    lol.. the secret is no wife, kids and cheap house with a room mate.
    Payments on 100k house is less than what i pay for my cell phone and mobile internet bill.
    Even with that being said I plan on renting out my house completely and selling the Viper by the end of the year. I want more freedom and less bills.

    What does using vice grips have to do with this not being my first rodeo.. Using a bungee for a bad handle is what most do and that's what I was taught by million milers.. Oh wait my bad you must be a super trucker.. You just vice grip away there cowboy!!!

    Lol thats actually funny, never thought of doing that, usually just screaming and using loads of pent up anger gets the job done

    Still waaaay early in my career, but this is the first I have ever heard of that method. Which isnt saying much , but it begs the question, just how is that method used when you dont have a trailer on that side to hook the bungee to?

    One of the ways the pulled handle gets bent out of shape is guys trying to tie it off to keep it out; then they drags the trailer a little getting the pins to release and oops-a-daisy.

    From what I heard it was a common solution before ez pullers - when you needed the combo tool to get pins out. Or for the ones with a lifting lever. IMO the vice grips is quicker and easier.
