Unhappy Dont you just hate it when tools break

The last time I broke a vice, I was trying to remove a driveshaft nut !!??

Bloody vice wouldn't grip the thing. With the assistance of a long length of pipe, I gave the vice a turbo tweak.

One almighty bang later, one of the jaws went flying through the air & landed on the bonnet of a customers car

It was an accident dammaged car that I was repairing, Good job the front of the car was well covered over but it still left a small dimple.

The conversation went something like this. " Here, I didn't notice that dent when I bought the car ".................... " Oh that one "........." I expect the recovery boys done that when they loaded it on to the transporter "

Keep up the good work & keep us posted on your progress.
