Re: Revealed: Who's Behind Those Superhuman Job-Site Videos

I've been a contractor going on 35 yrs, and never once did I think these were real...although wished they were, give us something to aim for so to speak. Of coarse we have over the years tried them all or versions there of, like racing tapes to see who buys the end of the day beers, and then trying to flip the bottle caps and stick them into Sheetrock. or trying to throw blades into a target on plywood walls like battling coits, (Stars) and then there's the nail gun, trying to shoot flies on the garbage pile..I knew they were for entertainment and done extremely well, Although like MikeG with the hammers, I haven't actually tried trowing them at a nail but we have has contests on fewest swings to drive a 16 or 20d. I can however handle and holster a hammer in 3 back flips as well as perhaps Billy the Kid. Providing the handle isn't to long where it hits me in the arm pit and that the claws are not straight. They tend to get away... Now that we know the truth and nothing to aim high for, I guess I have to look for another career. NOT! Great job Marvin/Integrity, you give me hope...
