    you haven't come across those cheap nails a lot use then. you know, the kind where the head folds in half when you try to pull it out? :biggrin_25510: thats where my 9" Kline lineman's came in handy!

    Tell him you don't have a crowbar, but you packed an extra payday, mars and kit kat bar.

    Crowbars, particularly heavy ones, can be persuasive in the right applications. I'm a new driver but have found plenty of uses for my "persuader". :biggrin_25514:

    Maybe the trainer is so bad of a driver the OP will need it to pry his arse off the seat? :biggrin_2555:

    The trainer was just being nice and warning him as I would not want to be using a used pry bar thats been used on another messy arse on mine!

    If the company you are going to loads roll stock paper, the trailer must be free of nails. It is easier to use a crowbar than pulling them out by hand or with your teeth.:biggrin_25523:

    Trainer probably lost his crowbar and doesn't want to buy a new one. It does seem like an odd request. Most trainers want students to pack as light as possible.
