How Many Weapons Are In Your Toolbox?

[Todd G]

I've sprayed myself so many times in the face with carb-cleaner that I think it makes the ultimate weapon. If that has no effect, use combination of carb-cleaner and lighter.

 

[JTBMC]

I had red beans and rice for lunch and believe me they're killing me. But as for protection I prefer the Estwing Hatchet.

several years ago when my wife and I were building our house a strange dog showed up and attacked my dog an Austrailian Sheperd puppy at the time. The only thing handy was my hatchet.

We live in a log home and I was fitting a saddle notch. Well I let that thing go never expecting to cut center and you guessed it no more stray dog. Well sense then the guys I grew up with that saw this happen have refered to me as the Hatchet Man.

My wife just refers to me as her Neanderthal.

Nice one Batman.



If you're lucky (like me) you don't need the beans - something in my chemistry...



I keep the handle of an old pick axe in there (helps knock mud and snow off the fender wells too). Also about a 3. 5 foot long metal pipe that is the handle of my high lift jack. One whack on the noggin or nuggies with this and they're goin'down!



And a can of Carburator Cleaner - makes my eyes water just thinking about it.



Come to think of it... start waiving a box of Kotex in front of most men and they will do ANYTHING to get out of the way...

Cool Stuff

I guess that I have the normal assortment of pipe wrenches, breaker bars, pry bars, and other assorted objects for creating pain. But on me I carry my fancy . 40 semi. I learned you need to carry something when you work.



I did some part-time work for an unnamed Repo Depo that removed cars from non credit paying customers (Mostly in the projects). Nothing like taking someones car out of a bad neighborhood. Oh the stories I could tell :-{} ! In our one wrecker, we carrid a . 38 special revolver, . 40 semi, . 45 semi and just for $h!ts and giggles, an AR-15. You can not have enough when driving through a depressed area (Especially when they want to kill you for not only taking their car, but for other obvious reasons #@$%! ).

Yes, but I sort of like the sound of Neanderthal Man.



Unga Bunga Dude!

Tire bumper

Two and a half foot piece of 3/4 PVC filled with sand and wrapped in electrical tape. Not to mention, Mag-lite.

 

[ZEEEW]

Oh yea, didnt think about the maglite, put a few deer, porcupines, racoons, other car-wounded critters out of pain with that. Havent even broke the bulb yet.

 

[Ted Constantine]

3/4" drive breaker bar, 1/2" torque wrench, 3 lb axe, chain saw, 24 oz death stick, big pry bar, assorted spray products, pick axe handle w/ metal reenforced end, mag lights.





How about some of that spray RTV remover in the face

 

[BillH]

A 6 D Cell Mag-Lite, better known as my "equalizer".

 

[Morphious]

Well, guess I will pipe in here as well.



In the cab, I have an assortment to choose from:



Fencing pliers in Drivers door

6 Dcell Mag lite drivers door

6" long skinning knife in 4x4 boot

6" combat knife in Glove box



In the toolbox, man is it loaded with modern day weapons:



2 4ways (could be used as a type of boomerang

36" cresent

various pipe wrenches

3' long cheater pipe

3' long crowbar

several 5lb sledges

3/4" wratchet along with the heavy sockets, breakerbar, etc...

double headed axe (for cutting holes in the "pond")... .

another set of fencing pliers

various other socket sets, drill, etc... .



under the toolbox:



3 ton jack with a 3' handle distached.





but the most important thing:



9000lb truck with a solid steel front bumper... ... .



Morph.

My tool

Box is a 81MM mortor box when they see that they just go the other way. Had the SP's here at work check my truck one mourning, needless to say they bout s**t their pants. They then asked very nicely to get out of the truck and step to back.

 

[CJ Johansson]

Well, it kinda depends on what I'm doing and what threat level they're presenting me with.

If I'm building/repairing fence, well, there's fencing pliers, post pounder, T-posts, chain saw, etc. Of course, there's all the "normal" toolbox tools one could use.



If the threat is great enough, there's the . 243 that lives in my truck (really useful for those coyotes and dogs attacking my livestock), or the ever-present 9mm on my belt...

If you are attacked and the only thing nearby is your toolbox

Well, at home the toolbox is only three steps from the gun safe. If somebody is fool enough to come after me there, they'll have to wade through empty brass to get to me.



Out working on our little "hobby farm", a revolver is as legitimate a tool as a wrench or hammer. A shotgun or varmint rifle may ride along as the days chores dictate. The #4 buckshot loads I carry for dogs and 'yotes would probably be good medicine too.



Let's see - last weekend I had some extra tools on board for working on a windmill. If shooting somebody wasn't warranted, how 'bout a 24 inch pipe wrench to the kneecaps?



On the whole, I'd say attacking somebody around a truckload of "tools" would be a good way to end up on the Darwin Awards list

Morph.

My truck instinctively has a voracious mind of it's own when ever it sees a CAT . Must be the Alpha Male in the 'ol CTD coming out. Doesn't matter if it's on the road or not.



Me... What do I do about it? Nothing. I've learned that there's very little I can do to stop it. It has a mind of it's own. I just have to sit back and laugh and watch 9k pounds of red truck and diesel smoke tear up everything it's it's path chasing a wretched furry four-legged animal with a long tail run within an inch of it's life - fur sticking straight out. Once the coo-de-graw has been administered, it lets me regain control of the wheel and proceed on my way.



It did this once with my wife, so this is no exaggeration. The cat happened to be in the road when Big Red took over. As a result, she's not convinced that the truck had anything to do with it. But, some day it will happen to her on someone's front lawn or in some farmer's field and she'll know that I haven't been pulling her leg.



Yes - the truck itself has proven very lethal.

Don't

Don't come near my house Ben. If your truck has a hankering, my truck will take it on big time. It likes Cats.

[Diesel Freak]

hmm



4 cell Mag Light



Hatchet



two bit axe



shovel



factory lug nut wrench



oh, and a 3/8 chain ( that would really hurt)

 

[lgibson]

Hair spray

In an arasol can. Just add Zippo and you have an instant Flame thrower. My grand dad has a piece of chain, which he had to use on a guy that was hitting a woman just because of a minor accident in Houston, Texas. And I thought those Houston folks were down right friendly,
