The underwater use looked interesting but a lot of the other scenarios just looked like a solution in search of a problem.

Now criminals have a fool proof way of getting into just about anything. It will be a big seller.

the Bombardier for getaway.
Is it possible to have a romantic relationship with a piece of equipment. .... I'm in love. A backup camera, blinding LED lights ... soon perhaps a coffee maker, massage chair, TV. I can't seem to make room for a coal stove however but then the heater/defroster already has mind numbing power.

Thermite welding does wonders when breaking railroad
rail or welding it back together too.

Before your mind gets too numbed remember to build a comfort station off the back end.

Great tool for small jobs but I wouldn't want to pay for the refills. I used thermite loaded lance pipes to burn holes in four inch thick cast slabs & it wasn't easy or pleasant but got the job done.

Also good for trashing military equipment that has to be left behind. Too bad we don't use it more in the Middle East. :roll:
