first off i would like to thank Jorden5446 and stjones for taking care of me at blade this year. i posted that i would "cut a car in half and do a video in honor of whom ever" answered my plee for help. my friend Best recorded and directed the video's which i am still trying to get onto youtube. i also said i would eat a hand full of jalapeno's while doing the video. i did eat the jalapeno's but best hit photo mode instead of video. so the first 15 minute's where i was eating pepper's and chopping and cursing are lost forever.
all in all this took about two hour's, including breaks. i will post the video's as soon as i figure out how to. while we wait here are some pic's of what a kill devil, pepper's and shear hard headedness can do. i have to say that the devil is one tough sum birch. the pic's are of the edge and spike, right after i cut the car up. i have not touched or sharpened anything. they held up amazingly well! i can not say as much for the coating. this thing was brand new when i started chopping. that was also in the first "lost" part of the video. the top edge of the spike, and cutting edge. are now a little rounded, and it will not cut paper. the coating is in poor very shape. you would also be hard pressed to find me with ANY other hawk on the market. you can open the top a vehicle enough to remove a full car seat in a few minute's. i beat this thing like it was talking bad on my mama! in one of the vid's you can hear it hitting the 1/4" deck of the trailer a few time's. part's of the support channel's on the body were tough to get through. taking multiple hit's, and cut's. some would say, "it is just sheet metal". it is just sheet metal, that is folded, layered, crimped and spot welded to keep you safe in a crash. my right hand look's like i have been rock climbing for two day's. i make a living with my hand's. they are not soft, supple, and most of the print's are worn off. still even with glove's on i earned some real nice blister's. alright enough with the whining. here are the pic's for you to enjoy. also if any body over at the shop need's anything else "tested" you know where to find me.
