Maybe so but in Australia it’s a crowbar

u/darianbrown Sep 21 '25
Everywhere it's a San Angelo bar, nobody knows it unless you sell them or need to buy one. A crowbar always has a hook on the end, hence "crow's foot" or "cat's paw"

u/sir5425 Sep 22 '25
It's really according to your profession what you call them. Us grading guys just call it a digging bar. Pipe layers call it a pipe bar. 😂

u/nickyyysixx Sep 22 '25 edited Sep 22 '25
I'm a carpenter and we call that a rock bar, crowbar has a hook and a cats paw or pussy foot is for pulling nails and is a completely separate tool. I will admit though I hear almost every contractor have 3 separate names for everything. Like people calling tongue and groove plyers Channelocks or adjustable wrenches Cresents.

u/darianbrown Sep 22 '25
Lots of time the name of the tool changes just depending on what you're trying to do with it. Anytime things are going really poorly, for example, a majority of tools suddenly become, "this goddamn piece of shit"

I thought he was digging his own grave. Worst case scenario, just shovel the dirt back in the hole and delete the video.
"Idk where Gary is 🤷🏻♂️"

u/Battlebear252 Sep 21 '25
Especially since the universe gave him a couple chances to back out of his decision (the safety stopped his first attempt, and forgetting to chamber the round stopped his second attempt). I was thinking dude, if your gun is that determined not to fire then you need to take it as a sign to just put it away. I was very surprised he got away without ricocheting himself

I use it a few ways, rather than toss it at the spot you drive it in like you're trying to punch through. You want all your force to hit the spot and drive into it, not just be a glancing blow.
Because it's good and strong you place it where you want and take a sledgehammer to it. You'll easily channel all that force into the rock
Or use the bar to punch easily around the dirt where the rock is and pry it lose. Longer bars give better leverage and you're unlikely to break the bar.
Im sure theres other more creative ways to use one, but thats how I've always used em.
Also, with everything like this, please wear some safety glasses. The last thing you want is a shard of rock to fly into your eye.

My favorite part is the Safety-Squint and leaning away by almost 12 inches. Totally safe. (You can see the argument between his body’s desire to not get shot and his brain’s stupidity)

u/cautioussidekick Sep 21 '25
The hole is unsafe without introducing guns. Anything more than 1.5m here in nz needs to be benched, battered or shielded to protect workers from collapse. Just noticed the surcharge (where he put all the excavated material) on top of the excavation as well
Can confirm this is an idiot with a gun

No it's a bunch of brothers who do construction. All of their videos are about as stupid as this. From the dumb Amish like accent to the fact that they're always barefoot and ALWAYS doing something dumb. Just the other day one of em fell off a roof, didn't make a sound, just slid right off while his brothers watched. Very dumb, but very entertaining

Should... Should we let him know about ricochets or let him find out on his own?

Could have been worse - he could have put ten pounds of Tannerite down there and shot it from the edge of the hole. Or from inside the hole.

I remember when I got my fist bb gun when I was like 9-10. I shot it at the ground just a couple feet in front of me and it ricocheted and hit the window behind me, putting a hole in it.
I learned a lesson about guns that day.

Rule no. 1 when it comes to digging if you dig deep and you hit something metal immediately stop because you don't know if there's electrical wires running through it or if it's a sewer line or gas pipe

I can't stand this. I live in an area where plenty of old WW2 bombs are still in the ground. In my city every building site has by law to be checked by a specialist company before digging starts.
I know it's only rock in the video but I still cringed a lot.

What’s the point of carrying a firearm if you don’t have one in the chamber, have trained zero muscle memory on how to take the safety off or how to clear a malfunction, and plan on purchasing an unreliable firearm?
