Using tools the WRONG WAY

[85_Ranger4x4]

I had one guy who used the torch as a slag hammer, the other guys chewed him out I didn't have to say a word.

He was more of cutting metal and it kinda glued itself back together kinda tapper.

Before I got my tire machine I would use my floor jack and a ratchet strap to break the beads on tires I was dismounting.

I’ve used my high-lift jack under the hitch or bumper on my F-150 with the tire on the ground. Saw a video on YouTube awhile back of a way to make a couple different manual tire tools and even though I have a tire machine now, I’m still kinda inclined to have the manual tools too since they could be thrown in a truck in an emergency
