Pretty neat. Starts out as a rod and ends as a channel-lock pliers. Checked out rest of the site, didn't know they were into all the various tools and tool boxes. Decent price on the tool boxes too. To bad they don't have an outlet/dealer here in Canada. Looks like you maybe able to buy online though. Very interesting.

Just me,, but i couldn't work in a place like that,, day after day the same thing , over and over.
Old company though, with a solid reputation for quality tools.

I agree with not being able to do a job like that. Would get too mundane after a while. Used to run steel bar into Vulcan Forge in Dearborn. The made connecting rods for Ford. Did that for a couple of years and still could not used to the ground shaking every 30 seconds. Most of the guys there had back and joint problems from all the thumping.

I worked in the same factory for 20 years, but when a job became monotanous I would just post into a different department or even switch lines within the department. We would also rotate to various stations on the line each hour - most lines had 4 operators, so you only had to do each job twice a day. I did everything in that plant, made rims, made blanks, made discs, assembled wheels, did repairs/reworks, loaded and unloaded paintline, shipping, forklift truck driver, overhead gantry crane operator, quality control and stats - all of which made it bearable...and the pay was decent too!

Lots of people are coping with undesirable jobs and doing the same thing over and over again every day - but hey, we gotta eat and need a place to stay right?
