Racer on Wednesday...

DIGGER27 · Oct 31, 2016

Tom sent the original Racer and two coils out this morning 2 day priority.
Should be here by Wednesday.
He said wear it out...so I shall.

My porch has tiles so I am hoping I won't make too deep of a trench in it waiting, watching and pacing.

You will be amazed at how fast the Racer is. Don't be surprised by how many on edge coins you start to find. The only reason I got rid of my Racer was that I found it to be very unbalanced...top heavy. Good luck and have fun experimenting!!

The angle of the grip is odd. It's like you need to handle it by the top curve in it. It's a good unit and not bad for the price.

I think it's yellow and goes "kabong, kaboing!" :laughing:

That's why they make pipe benders.
I used to be an electrician and dealt with EMT all the time....I can probably fix it.

I will be using the small coil most of the time.
If I can keep it level on the ground that will work.
If not I have lots of counterbalancing rocks laying all around here.

I am married so I am always on edge myself...a kinship might develop.

Later today I will be picking up a new digger that can handle the drought induced digging conditions a little better than my Lesche or Sampson.
I might come across some deeper signals so I want to be ready.
Probably gonna need to buy a slightly bigger tool pouch, also.

Got permission to 40 acres up in Argo...let me know when you can go...maybe nothing there but it's allot of land.

I can't believe that I didn't just have one of those pipe-benders laying around. :lol:

A real man always makes sure he has easy access to a can of WD 40, a Leatherman multi tool, a big wrench, a bigger hammer and duct tape...plus a 1/2" and 3/4" bender.

I'm with ya, especially on the Leathermans! Got a Wave, a Charge Tti, a Style on one keychain, and a Squirt on the work set. How can one get around WITHOUT one?! :yes:

Got a Wave myself.
Lost one once years ago and had to get another one right away.
It feels weird not having one on on my belt for easy access once you get used to it.
