I spent a few months working midnights in the garage at a steel mill. Almost all I did was replace big tires. Split rims were about all we had. We had a great big cage made out of about 3/4" steel bars. We rolled the tires inside of it and attached an air chuck. Then we stood back and let it air up. One guy, not on my shift, had one blow apart. I was shocked at how much damage it caused to the cage.

I did not last too long there before I moved on. It was probably the worse job I ever had. I did knock over a metal light pole one night with a Clark strattle truck. It had no brakes when I went to pick it up and no one told me. They never found out it was me and it was still bent over at a 45 when I left there.
