Well, I had a co-worker for a long time (now retired) that was named Orzeske. We worked up a whole set of standards for/about him. 1 OR=720 ft. lbs. He was 240 lbs and often used a three foot pipe as a lever on his pipe wrench. Flat blade screw drivers were speced as cold chisels and crescent wrenches (the back not the sides) had to be capable of use as a hammer. Of course anything in his tool box fit that category, lineman's pliers, ratchet wrench, and anything he could borrow from your toolbox. Wire cutters that had been used to cut through live wires, were now good for strippers as the arc had removed enough material to strip #16-#22 wire and could double as a crimper in a pinch. The 'Or drop test' was to pick up a piece of equipment you were working on and drop it from two or three feet above the bench. It if continued to work it was good to ship. It kept everyone awake. Nice guy, I miss him.
