    Oh #### it driver, was that English?

    Flatbed drivers generally keep a sledge and a propane burner handy. Suppose you could pay one a few bucks to borrow his tools. Careful with the torch if you do decide to heat those drums up; don't set your tires/airlines/ect on fire.

    A driver that travels without a 3-5# hammer and propane torch in the wintertime has no business above I-10!

    You could knock some sense into yerself with it! LOL!

    Heck... I used my "unfreeze the brakes tool" in the yard the other morning. I'd probably just get told to go find a hammer if I didn't apply my sledge hammer appropriately!

    I tried that. Hit brakes to unfreeze and still no luck. Even hammer not working.. What other ideas you have?

    Hit 'em a couple more times. Sometimes it takes a little bit to get them to unstick.
