Voodoo Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Time to "Bud light" the Master Lock company. My sled club uses exclusively master locks, to the tune of $50 each. That will be coming to an end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Hammer a master lock between 2 4lb hammers and they can pop right open and relock when you're done. If we needed something from stores at work on night shift that's how we got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our government hands that to Bombardier annually I'm sure. I'm, sorry we get involved with you guys. VW and Chrysler played you against us for the biggest grift...and we "lost". Between government, the corporation and the unions, it's just a fleecing of the taxpayers. The stupid taxpayer fails to remember this, but the cunts that take all the free money sure do and vote/donate to the sugar daddy. So it's actually beneficial for the government that wants to stay in power. as well. Edited August 22, 2023 by Voodoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
