make me wonder the amount of times i walked in to a bank "tooled up" to put cash in...!

 

[Geordie Spark]

I wonder if it was a Neon Screwdriver & if so did it light up ??

 

[Richard Burns]

Is this what they call "live" working at 50kV?


Durham you would not make a good bank robber, you go in "tooled up" to take money out!

Yes, it bloody hurts and is a nightmare to let go of too!

Are tazers covered by the EAWR?
probably not the BGB as that is fixed wiring only? Although it would possibly fit into the "used by competent personnel only" method of protection?

I love this reply on their forum:-

"I'm a sparky and have gone all over, shops, banks, pubs etc With screw drivers that yes, could seriously injure someone left in my knee side pocket by mistake, modern work trousers have a fair few pockefs so it's easy to forget somethings there as it's not always easy to feel it. These guys (city rangers, lol) are born idiots, give a man a uniform and the power goes straight to his head - morons."



Well said sir, I mean we have all done it before, walking away from job with the odd tool in our pockets.
