Edit: I should clarify this isn't my actual job so I don't typically carry any type of hammer or chipping device. I'm an electrician and I was waiting for my coworker to come back with a fitting we thought we wouldn't be using but then decided to use anyway.

MV Edit: Send pictures of your pets please

Slower, you slut. /s

As if you had to tell me you were an electrician with your channels taped like that! I do that to all my tools so I always have tape with me if I need to mark stuff or tape something rq

Lol I guess most didn't catch that because the first few comments were telling me a hammer would get the job done quicker. I have a tool bag full of "hammers".

This looks like a cement plant to me, but I've never been on an oil rig like the other guy said. It's not calcium. Could be a calcium compound I'm not aware of. But I work in a lot of different industrial facilities and I've done a lot of cement plants and that looks like a cement plant. The stuff he's hammering off isn't the final product

Close. They make direct reduced iron, but here is the area that they coat the product in cement.

I knew those puddles had a haematite hue, but figured the crusty stuff was magnetite, not cement

I've done work cleaning up cement dust before, including jack-hammering a staircase (while standing on it) to get the cement off of it lol

It's a cement coating process. There's a part where they spray the product to moisten it before it gets a fine dusting of portland

I get it. Just, as a tool guy, I hate to see pump pliers used as a hammer. However, not sitting in judgement here, I'd bet that every tool I have has been misused at some point..

I hear you I'm an electrician I was just fucking off while my coworker ran to get a fitting lol. It's a cement coater for the ore and everything has a perfectly layered cement coating on it.

Having worked in a place that looked very much like this, I was expecting exactly that. I had coworkers whose ultrasonic material thickness test probe poked holes straight through the gas pipe they were supposed to be testing

I used to take UT Thickness readings on pipes before moving to aerospace and heard stores of the transducer poking holes in pipe. You can tell this will happen. I was with an API who insisted on a reading in that spot. I told him it was too corroded and not possible, afraid I'd poke thru on a system that wasn't shut down. He dragged me out there and scraped off the pipe, and told me to take a reading while he looked. The transducer fell right thru, and I told him the thickness was zero.

Dude that's hilarious!! I hope you felt super satisfied.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Mostly felt lucky that while the system was online, it wasn't currently running. Otherwise, it would have burnt my hand with hot gases when the transducer poked through. I made him go to the client and tell them what he'd done lol

It's a multi-tool. One side is for hammering and the side I'm using is for chipping. They say it can be used as pliers but I already have a pair of pliers.
