00:03She puts nail polish on a no-man. I told her this is a classic car, a classic.
00:11Tim, Tim! Where have you been? You've only been alive in two minutes, come on.
00:17I know, I got in an argument with Jill.
00:20She scratched the car and tried to fix it herself.
00:23Looks like a pretty good match. What's that, Red Passion Delight?
00:28Scotty, this is Tim. Scotty, he's our job site foreman. Good to meet you, Scotty.
00:33Glad to meet you, Tim. I watch your show every day.
00:35Good. Do I get to run that beat?
00:38No. Like I said, I watch your show every day.
00:43Now, it's a pleasure to have you here as guest crane operator.
00:46Thank you. I hope to make my former colleagues in Local 324 proud.
00:51Hey, guys. Stand by. We're going live. Here we go.
00:54All right.
00:54Five, four, three, four, five.
00:58Welcome to a special live edition of Tool Time.
01:00Today, we're going to show you the operation of a 25-ton hydraulic truck crane.
01:06Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:08That's right, Tim. We're going to be using this crane to pick up and set a three-ton beam,
01:13which will be used as a diagonal brace, also known as a kicker.
01:16So you could call this a kicker-picker-upper.
01:21I don't think so, Tim.
01:22Now, why don't I hop in the cab here, and we'll get things started.
01:25But before you do, let me jump inside and show her here with some of the controls.
01:28Tim, maybe I should be, uh...
01:30Hold on a minute.
01:30Tim, Mark, as long as you're up here, let's get a close idea.
01:33Look at these controls in here. Let me show you some of this stuff.
01:35Now, this lever here swings the entire crane back and forth, right, Al?
01:38That's right, Tim.
01:39But don't touch it.
01:40Now, we'll get out of the cab, and I will raise the beam.
01:43Well, since I'm in here, I can't think of any reason why I should raise the beam.
01:48I can think of about 300.
01:51This is the lever right here that raised the beam, right?
01:53Yes, that's right, but don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, I'm doing it.
01:55I got it, I got it.
01:57I'm beaming up, Scottie.
02:02Yeah, that one.
02:04Okay, hit the foot brake.
02:05Lock the beam in place.
02:07Right now.
02:09Okay, now.
02:10Get out of the cab.
02:11Tim's getting out of the cab.
02:12And I'm going to move the beam right into place.
02:16As you're going out, be careful, don't hit the brake release with your foot.
02:20This is the lever that would swing the beam.
02:22Yes, it is, but Tim, Tim!
02:25Are you all right?
02:27All right, look out!
02:32Tim, your foot, don't hit the brake release!
02:35What?
02:52Tim, your foot, don't hit the brakes.
