Reciprocating Saw Happy
Yesterday I went to a yard to look for a core support and inner fenders for a friends 68 f100.
As I rounded a corner I spotted a bumpside. As I got close I saw the worst site anyone could could see. A sawsall happy cutter had destroyed the truck to pull the engine. The core support along with grille were cut to the bottom. The inner fenders were cut out also. This annoys me to no end. I deal with this a lot at the wrecking yards. Can't always be there first so I have to continue my search at other yards.

I use a sawzall quite a bit. I cut exhaust, hoses, bolts,etc. I do not like to just hack things out though. I try to preserve the parts I am not interested in for someone else who may be in need of the leftovers.
lucky down here the new junkyard we got is run by a guy who is very involved with not just what and how much removed parts cost but how they are removed as well.

I'm with First Today on this one. If I don't need it, I try to keep it in good condition for the next guy who might need it. I hate going to the wrecker yards just to find a car that would of had decent parts all chopped up for some small part. I've found dashes destroyed, doors mangles, engines beyond worth even looking at, grills smashed up, and loads of other horrible calamities.
