The longer you look at it the worse it gets
And icing on the cake, the mag is empty as best as we can tell.
So, I now have someone’s project car
That’s understandable, my old EG sedan was a similar vibe and my rack dropped MPG by 4-6 on average but if your driving is mostly highway it really does wreck it. Scooting around town it honestly doesn’t drop dramatically. I’m biased but I think the rack makes the car.

I’m not personally into the wrap/paint/graphics but TBH I do kinda love the powder blue. I’d get the rack and light bars back on it and ditch the rainbow dash stuff and it would look mean…kinda ratrod nouveau.
Gonna have to go with 2 separate straps instead
He has crossed straps tied down to OE cargo shackles dude. Straps are likely rated 800lbs+ each. L brackets are only as strong as the material they’re secured to, which in the case of most modern vehicles is 1/4” pressboard trunk/spare tire well cover. In a high impact crash 8 screws into 1/4” pressboard are gonna pull out whereas 2 straps anchored into engineered tie down points are going to hold. You’re being a little silly. The straps are more than fine.

My coworker is a bonafide BFA photographer — he took that photo. The rest are my amateur garbage ;)

The come along was used to put a preload on the wrench so when I beat on it with a 10lbs sledge hammer it didn’t go flying off haha.
Worn floor in front of the bell chime keyboard
r/WellwornThe floor is painted and paint is worn down to bare wood in that area.

It’s Friday and I’m tired, here’s why:
Maintenance, repair, installation of new bell ringing equipment, install/removal from towers (bells often go back to our factory for restoration), even installing full bell towers (standalone steel post towers). We also manufacture/install/service street clocks and tower clocks in addition to all the bell stuff. We stay busyyyy. Too busy if I’m being honest but we are actively trying to scale up our field staff…nobody wants to work these days OKAY BOOMER.

None of these are Revere bells but we have several customers with Revere bells in use today. I am in USA and have worked on a handful of bells of the same era from other American foundries.

These are all from different job sites. 3, 8, and 11 are carillons (any grouping of 23+ tuned bells that can be played as an instrument is considered a carillon…there are also a couple photos of ‘chimes’ which is the same concept but 8-22 bells).

Me and my homies don’t fuck around with broke ass bells.

Nope, #10 is a 9 bell chime in Boston and #11 is a 50something bell carillon in Cleveland.

I love that analogy. Here’s a short clip from my favorite carillon featuring my favorite animal.

Thanks. I’m a service technician for a bell & clock company. These are the only towers I’ve work on located on Cape Cod….Christmas Tree Shops plaza in Hyannis and St Joseph Chapel in Woods Hole.

Can I put you in touch with management? Lol

Duluth discontinued it :’( it’s getting threadbare. I have 1 backup and then I don’t know how I’ll get by…haven’t found another one that fits my needs nearly as well yet.

Cheers brother. Some day I want to give my body a break but I’ve tried traditional jobs and I’m just too much of an outdoor cat to piss in the litter box. This isn’t fun a lot of the time, but it scratches an itch.

Yes, #8 is the carillon tower at University of Illinois in Champaign.

That would make sense. In my world, 80% of the time all equipment has to get upstairs “the hard way” and it’s rough to carry a 1T+ chainfall by yourself even on the ground so weight/size is a huge factor for us. Cheers my friend.

Okay I understand where you’re coming from now. However, lever hoists (at least modern ones that conform to current standards) will NOT freewheel under load. When you switch from up to down (or for that matter into neutral with a load on the line) the hoist maintains the brake pawl from its most recently engaged direction. If I were to put my lever hoist into neutral with a load, the lever will spin freely either direction but the mechanism inside remains locked. Once you switch to the opposite lift direction, the mechanism reversed and the other side brake disengages as the ratchet takes its first tooth in the new direction, and simultaneously the other brake engages. Perfectly safe so long as the tool is in good working condition.

When you say “come along” I think of a ratcheting cable puller which would 100% not be an approved lifting tool. But chain lever hoists are approved/intended for lifting applications. There may be specific reasons why chainfalls are better suited in your industry’s applications but I’m unsure what the reason would be.
