As i have mentioned in a pst thread I work in the auto field, well I once witnessed the 2 inch linked chain and hook/clamp from a frame machine literally go through a 350ci small block chevrolet and land in the back seat.

If there are those who don't know what a frame machine is, it is to pull and reallign the frame of non unibodied vehicles due to major collision.

I'll leave it up to your imagination what that could do to a human body.

Safety First is the upmost importance when working with machine or machanical device.

Note: Luckely no one was hurt or injured.

We call them jig by the way over here and use them on fully bodies vehicles as well to straighten them out as you say after a accident,

A mate once had a chain snap on him on some farm machinary, it took a chunk out his face but luckily just threw him off his feet instead of him taking the full force,

I used to test wire ropes etc at my previous work plave and boy do they go with a bang lol (im talking up to 12" diameter ropes here by the way)

Wrecking stuff for a living. Who did not dream of that when he was a kid. We should get a T-Shirt printed for Shrub. "Born and bred to rip and shred" or something.
Due to financial limitations the light at the end of tunnel has been turned off until further notice.

As a kid i wanted to make and design micro electronics but there were no jobs going when i was due to leave school so to please my dad i went for the goverment job in engineering and got it,

All those years spent on machines etc, i grew to hate it in the end hence why it takes me forever to make anything in my own workshop.
