that could end ugly, imagine it the shank decided to shear off, and he did not hook the safety chains :O

Wats even better is when ppl come in and they're trailer wiring harness doesn't work and they swear its not the truck b/c they just got done towing their boat/trailer/mother-in-law and it worked fine then I show them the burnt fuse. The looks on their faces gets me eveytime.
