Durability A+
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I smashed my backup Buddy into an Ice pile that was still there from December, so needless to say it was really solid. Totally bone headed on my part. Going to fast in reverse, no traction, BAM! Shook the whole truck. First thing I jump out and look at the BUDDY and OH !#$%. Blew it up. Cussed myself, took it off and continued on the job. Got back to shop later to survey the damage. Bent it a bit, blew the LED into the body and filled it with snow. Figured its done, but maybe I can put it back together. Cleaned out the snow and dried everything out, took it out an plugged it in and Holy @#$% it still works! Beat it with a hammer back into shape (may not work every time) popped the LED back in with the Gasket, and It's fine! I'm impressed. Not that you'll get away with doing something that dumb every time, but the thing is built well enough to get beat by the ice pile, the hammer, and me, and it's working fine. Good stuff. __________________ Bruce, Iowa
