Buddy of mine is a welder. His truck got booted in DC a few years ago. Pretty sure they had to replace that boot.
My dad is/was a boilermaker who seemed to be always equipped with the right tools. His van got booted during Mardi Gras on Dauphine St (in the French Quarter). For just a few minutes Dauphine street was filled with a glorious mass of sparks that drunk people danced in while the angle grinder screamed. I was about 16 and the designated driver for him and his buddies.
