He sent me a picture once of a rear end he was rebuilding. The ring gear was several feet across, and hanging from a shop crane.

At one point he had injured his hand and went to a rehab place. First off they had him squeeze a meter to get a reading of hand strength. With his injured hand he was higher than any woman ever and in the range of healed men. After several weeks of rehab all the employees gathered around to see him set a final mark. It is the record for place.

Do NOT get in a handshaking hand squeeze contest with him. He can crush a guys hand. Working with large tools and parts for a lifetime has made his hands like iron.

It is like arm wrestling with a professional lumberjack in Oregon. Just don't try. Those guys are STRONG.
