Junk yard score

Quote from: ThunderbirdSport302;406732
I've been known to pick up relays, big fuses, and some bulbs. Anymore I don't nab bulbs, unless I can stash 'em in with my tools. Having one smashed in my pants and the resulting chunk of glass stuck in my leg, like some newfangled crazy-ass piercing didn't really become quite the fad I'd hoped. Of course, me hopping around, screaming bloody murder from a gash in my leg the size of the Challenger Deep did attract a crowd multi-national onlookers who all pissed themselves laughing...thankfully i didn't die from lack of blood, but as the doctor was later putting a stitch into it commented..." and a bandaid wasn't good enough?"

Oh, the humility!
OK, so maybe it wasn't that bad...but it's not such a great idea to have fragile, sharp-edged-when-broken things in your pockets and then smash those things with heavy car parts. Thankfully the cut was minor, if a bit of a bloody mess. (I bleed easily).

Last time I went, I took a small tub that cream cheese is sold in at the store and used that for collecting bulbs and the like. Fits neatly in the bottom of tool bag, and keeps glass outta my arse!


This is why I don't put short pointy things/glass items in my pocket at the yard :hick:. I just buy new lamps at the store, that way I know they "should" work :D.

I also take a 12volt battery from a house alarm system to the yard with me to test electrical parts. It's small enough to fit in my tool bag and its not stupid heavy. Try it if you have one lying around.
