Every man for himself! 😉🤣 It's insane to me that some professionals risk damaging entire projects just to save a few bucks for the right tools... 🤦‍♂️ Having the right tool in a time of need is PRICELESS! I remember in the early years of Elijah Tooling, when I was trying to sell the first Invert-a-Bolts, I had an EXTREME example of this happen to me. I met with an executive of a large machine shop to pitch the Invert-a-Bolt. Midway through the meeting, we both heard a huge CRASH from the shop floor. We went out to see what caused the crashing sound and found that one of the CNC machines had thrown a part out of the machine vise. At this point I made a really *dumb* remark: "see, if you were using Invert-a-Bolts, that would have never happened"... That was the absolute WORST time to say something like that, but it was also very true. 😬🤣 My advise, never say anything that stupid, but also never sacrifice your part, machine or YOUR LIFE because you want to run machines on the cheap - without the right tools. 😉 #elijahtooling #manufacturing #madeinusa #cnc #cncmachining #milling #lathe #machineshop #jobshop #newtools #meme #memes #funny #metalworking #machining
