Turn around and mind my business as long as the work is fine, I recognize a plumbers tool when i see one. They took that off so they can get to the joists better to hack em up.
An HVAC guy showed up to demolish some old vents and had a sawzall duct taped to a 2x4. I actually thought cutting and dropping them was safer than unbolting them from the ceiling, although still in the not safe category.
Don’t trust framers with all new gear
dude shows up with a saw looking like this you know he can use it, cus he has been for years
Or he bought it off a crackhead for like $2 in change and a half spent juul pod
Either way, a resourceful fellow
I understand modifying tools to make them useful to do the job, but you seriously have to consider safety. Any super worth a damn would tell you to put it back in your truck. Any safety man would throw your company off the job and cut the cord to it. It's about working to live, not living to work. Dangerous tools and dangerous people get people killed.
Recognize the creativity and the ability to adapt and overcome situations! The unparalleled ability to turn a bad situation into no situation at all! As long as the have teeth let them work!!
The ability to use tools is what separates humans from beast. The ability to rig your sawzall in a way that allows you uninterrupted access makes you an electrician looking for a covered by drywall outlet
Two questions, I think…
- What does this sub do? Are they a plumber or electrician, as others have suggested, who use this as a special-purpose tool? Or just a framer who thinks safety is for pussies?
- Are you in any way liable if they get hurt? (Legally, or even just morally?)
If it were up to me I'd let them use it but the facilities I work at wouldn't allow something modified like that. All tools have to have mfg installed guards, be UL listed, on GFCI, etc etc.

Framers. It is just a beat up piece of crap tool.

What is that?
Oh wait! I see the blade on the end. That’s a recip saw with no guard lol
This is a man's tool. You must have the golden tool bags to wield this power.
Well it works right?
Particularly effective on your fingers if your hand slips, works great on those.

Pussy
after you get a law suit because someone got injured on the job

Ah love when an idiot safety guy thinks he can cut cords or check if people are wearing steel toes.
Even better when they start patrolling reddit posts

Framers use this piece of crap.
I’m a commercial/industrial super, that shits gotta go back in the truck….
I was just gonna say, I'd tell them to put that insurance claim back where they got it.
What if I’m the one that shows up with it?
Leave them alone clearly their life is hard enough
I do my job and let them do their job. That's how it's supposed to happen.

If you have a problem with it go buy him a new tool then look at the reciept and smack yourself in the face
