We were setting up for a big lift downtown, and this person climbed up for photos. Had to hold the job until they got down safely. Their phone nearly dropped into the steel, which was a funny moment.
We were tying in beams and I grabbed an impact wrench to move faster. He shut it down and said torque wrenches are the only right way to avoid loose connections later. I've always trusted my feel after so many years up there... Curious where you all stand on this.
I always thought plasma cutters were too weak for thick steel plate. Tried one on a 1-inch beam and it sliced through like butter with way less mess. Who else has found plasma cutters better than expected for structural work?
