Yes, I could play hardball and demand that the receiver cut the bolt off. They could play hardball by telling me somebody will be out in 3 hours (or tomorrow) to do it for me. See how that works?
Anybody have trouble with bolt seals?

Mine is pneumatic. I use a hose to connect mine.
They make battery powered ones also.
Cuts any padlock or cable in seconds.

Way too many good portable rechargable options these days to be dragging out an air hose. buy quality and buy once.

I get that Ridge, i learned years ago for me to break it you must watch.
Question for you...How do you handle seals that are handed to the drivers with their bols, but not installed by the shipper or under shipper supervision?LoneRanger and 86scotty Thank this. -
One nice thing about pneumatic tools is that they pretty much last forever if you keep them lubricated. They're also cheaper than the battery powered kind.
Batteries do have a shelf life. You can pack a pneumatic tool away for 50 years and it will fire right up with a little bit of lubrication.MACK E-6 and scottied67 Thank this. -
I have a small suitcase generator about 1800 watts and a pea grinder.

Very true and I have multiples of about any air tool you can imagine, both in the shop and on my service truck, but as good as the portables have become, unless it is something I don't have, I rarely pull out an air line or extension cord anymore.
I have 100% milwaukii and so far have had good luck with batteries, the only bad one I have had was bad right out of the box. It came with my grease gun and they replaced it right off the bat. Knock on wood.
I have multiple batteries and they might all go bad tomorrow. lol -
OK, I'll wait.
By the way, you will be paying detention pay for all that time waiting. If you refuse, I will turn around and return the load to the shipper, saying you refused it.
