People offering to pay for extra channels with pot was the kinda thing you'd get on a SLOW day. Ladies, here's a hint: If a guy's gonna be hooking up a satellite in your bedroom, you might consider putting away the sex toys before he arrives, unless you're willing to let him use them on you! Also~ If you leave them out, you have no business getting offended if he picks oneup and challenges you to a sword fight with it !!!

A guy was drilling over head into a reinforced concrete wall with a hammer drill. He hit a piece of rebar, the drill swung around, and, I think, it broke his jaw. The clutch was suppose to break free at 88 foot-pounds at the chuck. This clutch broke at over 100 foot-pounds of torque. Usually the clutches got weaker over time, but this one got stiffer because it had an out of spec component. You're suppose to check the drills every day with a torque wrench.

When the drill bit binds in the material the drill keeps going and can snap a wrist if you are holding tight. My dad had a HILTI(R) hammer drill and one of his coworkers borrowed it. Once. He didnt let go when the bit caught and it snapped his arm. A friend of mine borrowed it to drill some holes in concrete for a new door jam, again the bit caught and it spun him around in circles until he was able to release the trigger. Luckily he was drilling into the floor at the time and not into a wall. Some drills have massive amounts of torque.
