Pull, Don't Push

Keith Molden · Mar 13, 2019

Had my first Snap On salesman tell me when he stopped by my garage and just after a wrench had slipped, skinning my knuckles. Cheap wrenches aren't good and good wrenches aren't cheap. I had well over $10,000 worth of Snap On tools when I sold out. Guess what, for the professional, he was right.

A ?given? when using the ?adjustable crescent? wrenches!! Or as we used to call them ?Tijuana socket set?!!!

I call them a "one trip".

Sometimes you have to push.

Ah yes. The infamous knuckle buster wrench! LOL

I have a very large Snap-On tool chest full of Snap-On hand tools. I don't particularly care for the combination end wrenches. They are very skinny edges are not rounded off. When I pull hard on them I rupture the blood vessels in my fingers. SK's are fatter and rounded on the edges and I don't have that problem.

My years on the FD taught me how to work with gloves on. I still have to remind myself each year it seems that it is the better way to go.

I did that Monday with a gate while we were sorting some cattle. Fingernail's turning purple and there's a cut by the knuckle. Lots of inhaling through the teeth and exhaling slowly with that one.

Could always tell how good of a mechanic a new employee was by observing how much his hands and knuckles got torn up in the first few days.

What Larry said, "pull, dont push". And if you have to push, push flat handed with palm out. Not hand clenched in a fist around the wrench.

You mean a good mechanic would have less injuries? I guess that makes sense. Work smarter not harder.
Or, do you mean a good mechanic gets injured more because he's keeping busy?

(quoted from post at 11:00:34 03/13/19) You mean a good mechanic would have less injuries? I guess that makes sense. Work smarter not harder.

The young and or inexperienced by far went through more band aids compared to those more experienced that as you said work smart.

Many times you give two people the same job to do.
One comes out covered in dirt, sweating like a pig and take's an hour to get the job done.
The second one has the same job done in 45 minutes or less and comes out of it clean without breaking a sweat.

We call them a metric monkey wrench.

And it?s ten times worse when it was cold

You always have to be optimistic, at least it didn't make that clanking sound when it slipped; that's so annoying.

I worked in a shop where one guy came in clean, and went home clean. I observed him one day, he had a tough, dirty job to do,
he looked it over for a while, then called the guy over from the next bay, and asked him, "how do you do this job?"
The guy said "just do this and this and this," in a little while the job was done. Mr. clean was still clean when he left for home!
