OH boy I was happy to get a new 125' cable for the old sewer machine yesturday. I also got a new 3 foot leader. Here is where the trouble started. It was rapped in a loop and wired together. I started cutting the wire I thought I was being careful and WAMMM that thing sprung open and cracked me on the forehead so hard I almost cried, almost. I had and still have a knot on my fore head that is huge. So be careful with the cable.

I tell you how I always unroll cables; flat on the ground and get ready to jump/pull away on the last cut of the wire ties. They tight loop those for shipping and they are usually under a great deal of tension.
That had to suck though.
