Default Let's talk seals and carving up fingers shall we?

lol at myself.

So I bent the metal seal back and forth a few times and it was being stubborn. So rather than walk to the front of the truck to grab some pliers, I grabbed hold of the sucker and showed it who's boss. What a box of rocks moron. 13 hours later and I'm about to remove the bandages. It won't be pretty. I do amaze me sometimes!!!

Youch! This is why I let the store managers have that privelage. However, on the rare occasions when we have to do it ourselves, I either employ lineman's pliers, or pull the band of the seal tight with one hand, and wiggle the tab with the other. It bends so much that it breaks after 5-10 seconds, and I still have all my digits...
Screw that, I'd rather use plastic seals.
