Overkill or Extreme Tools

[vkberlina]

Well Been pulling an EFI 5L out of a VP for my next project and with the backhoe sitting there I thought bugger using the engine crane . Pics of the Ultimate Engine crane

Certainly made light work of pulling the engine out took 2hours to have the wole thing out.

So this got me thinking post up your pics of overkill tools for a job.

Haha that's epic! Unfortunately I haven't got any pictures to contribute in relation to overkilling it with tools. Only thing I can think of was I had to get my new diff into my Ute, so instead of jacking the rear up & using axle stands etc [The light was fading fast], I got a few mates over and we just lifted the rear of the ute while my bro pushed the diff underneath :P

Not as exciting as using a massive crane haha but ah well, I don't own any large tools

on the note of using heavy machinery. We used a forklift to change a flat on the work car

Thats awesome Vk Berlina, i dont think anyone would be able to beat that.

i remember at work one time. wish i had a picture of it
to move a portable winch (imagine size of about 3 slabs) we ended up getting a massive crane truck. that can lift like 100tonnes. this winch was about 50-100kgs

mind you we had to move it up to the top of a 40m high silo =P

I've lifted my car off the ground with a forklift at work. No pics though.

But don't tell anyone, I'd probably get in shit

reminds me of someone getting their tooth pulled out with a string tied to a lamborghini...

i did the same when putting the engine in the Calais. Lifted it with the tractor, then pushed engine underneath.

But again, no pics...
