Flat tires and the things that cause them.

I don't have a picture of it, but I managed to run over a half of a pair of pliers. End of the handle poked through a nearly new tire.

 

oh yeah, i ran over either a butter knife or steak knife...HANDLE...the blade was missing. just the blunt end was showing, then the mechanic pulled it out, the "rounded end" was what entered the tire!

 

Sweet - free tools . . . .

 

8" long 3/4" shaft round head bolt.
Head went in first. Moving around a loading area. Crew was dismantling an old Post and beam barn on site.

 

I would save it in a special place and tighten every hose clamp I could find from now to eternity just to make it pay it's way for the trouble it caused.

 

So THAT'S where I left that wrench!

If you could just email it to me, thanks!

 

I found a clevis pin back when I worked for a truck stop, one afternoon we had a local end dump come in with a flat drive tire. As soon as the driver got out of the truck he started complaining about how bad his day had been, just a little bit earlier he darn near rear ended somebody when his clutch pedal fell to the floor while coming up to a stoplight because a clevis pin came out of the linkage. At least it didn't go far.

 

Ended up with a 3/8" drillbit through a tire once.

 

no picture but years ago did a call with a french fryer basket stuck in a dudes tire. handle went in and by the time he got stopped the basket part was all wadded up in a ball - other items, porkchop bone, Lexus key, allen wrench, piece of rebar, and some I cant remember
