KfGotmorethanitbargained4
« on: October 24, 2006, 11:49:30 PM »
As some of you know I drive a cargo truck for a living.  It's pretty old and beat up, and the weatherstripping in the driver's side doorframe needed replacing.  I got new weatherstripping last week but I didn't get around to installing it until today.  There were numerous problems- everything from corroded and rotted screws to step plates that wouldn't move, to heavily rusted hunks of metal and so on.  Of course, none of this was too major, and I eventually got the whole thing put on.  Of course, the new strip was about an inch and a half too long- no problem, the blade on my Kf4 should make short work of it right? 

WRONG!

I had some trouble cutting through it, and my boss was laughing, thinking how useless this tool must be.  I was a little embarassed until I finally cut all the way through and found six steel wires running through it!  Needless to say, I have to sharpen my Juice now, but the look on my boss' face when he saw that the little thing had sliced through wire was priceless!

I guess that makes the Juice KF4 worth the $20 I paid for it then :) Thanks for the story Def.

Well I'd like to go on record as saying that had I known there was wire in there I would have used the cutters...

Welcome HawkChucker!  You joined at a good time, as you are about to see me make my first public apology in this forum.

I was wrong, it wasn't six wires running through the weatherstripping.  I looked at the cut off piece a little closer today and found that it was actually 8 wires.  My sincerest apologies for misleading everyone.

Actually, it's a Dodge.  Now I know how Al Bundy always felt!
