Tools that scare you

[btulloh]

Speaking of jacks, the good old h-press can be pretty dangerous if you're not careful.  Some of us have a tendency to stack up a few pieces of steel to get the job done.  Not supposed to do that, but . . . 

Stay out of the line of fire.

I am overly careful with a hi lift jack to0 after the handle gave me a nasty shot in the arm. That some hurt.

Any mention of the word "ladder" should be completely banned in this topic!!

Speaking of jacks I bought one on an auction last spring, I wasn't bidding on the jack but it got thrown in the lot to get rid of it.  It's not a handy man jack, more like an old JD lever jack on steroids, my buddy called it a timber jack and said they used them to lift his house when he put a new basement under it.  Any way it's rusted up but won't take much to get it apart and cleaned up this winter when I want something to tinker with, not sure I'll use it though  ;D.
