The bushmans throwline and throwbag!

Ekka · 19th September 2007, 12:09 AM

Well, done a job on a horse stud today.

Was fun, customer had a tractor with cable to do some trees. I asked how he intended to get the cable up the tree?

Oh, I throw this up there, goes great and doesn't get stuck to often.

He's not even using the old standby, 8oz snapper sinker! Hope he's not near the roof or windows.

The shifter! ......... Is there anything it cant do????

Actually i hate the things. Probly a better use for it than trying to undo a bolt.

Shifter???? Isn't it a hammer???

I was gonna rag on that thing, but then I realized that I just effectively built the back yard hillbillys throwline and bag. Guess I really should keep my mouth shut

Yeah but Ken, yours would seem to have more......."muzzle velocity"!

You know, stuck 25' up in a tree is a GREAT place for those metric wrenches.

Therrin · 10th January 2008, 05:21 PM

In these parts, those wrenches are commonly called a "mexican toolbox"

no joke. It's funny watching the FNG on a site, someone says "hand me that mexican toolbox" and the kid's lookin at toolboxes sayin "...dammit, which one's the mexican one"

Hammer was "Knockometer"

newguy18 · 10th January 2008, 09:03 PM
