[QUOTE="Whitespider, post: 4900143, member: 57106"] Gear wrenches are wonderful tools when working on a tower, less fumbling, less manipulation... and yep, it would make one heck of a dent. One of the guys dropped his knife once, with the blade open... it landed with the blade stuck in the dirt just inches from my right foot. Usually, if the guy knows he's dropped something (sometimes something unknowingly falls from the tool pouch as you're diggin' in it) he'll sound out with a warning. The worst thing you can do is look up or run away... best to make yourself as flat against the tower as possible, even stick your head in between the cross members. I watched a 30 pound radio crash through a car windshield once; that car was parked at least 50 feet from the tower... between wind and/or bouncing off the tower on its way down, stuff rarely lands right next to the tower. Hence, my statement of making yourself as flat against the tower as possible. * [/QUOTE]
