Shark Guard strength test

[Stytooner]

Well guys, I have debated personally whether to post this or not. Some part of me lost that debate, so here it is.
I run over the first prototype of the SG8.0. I knew before hand what the result would be. Heck, it's polycarbonate.
I don't want this to sound like a commercial.
I do want the guys that own them to feel good about what they have.
Here is the link.

Be aware that its a large flash file.
Let me know your thoughts.

PS: Wish our fingers were made of flex polycarb :-)

Lee is that the heavy Chev ? pickup that I've seen flying down the highway. If so I would say it totally sounds like advertising to me. It's good tho, I am amazed. You done good, Bill

Perhaps you need to upgrade your truck?

Pretty impressed!

Thanks,
Phil

I think you ought to be extremely proud of what you've built. The whole purpose of a Shark guard is safety and if it's tough enough to withstand your truck, it ought to at least slow down flying debris from the saw. The video puts to rest any doubts about it's strength.

Maybe you've considered this (and maybe I should mind my own ****ed business) but have you thought about patenting the design and licensing it to saw manufacturers? One big selling point is that users might be tempted to leave them on rather than leaving them off because it's so easy to remove and reinstall.

Well, that explains the tread marks on my shark guard.

I'm impressed and very thankful that I have one. Has saved me at least once which made it worth every penny!

[crokett]

Impressive. Most Impressive. I agree with the patenting and/or offering to saw manufacturers under license.

[Whaler]

After that test there is no question that I am keeping mine.

Crap... I went out and wasted money for a set of ramps!

Lee,

Holy S***, you're a real genius, even for a guy from the south (just kidding) guys.

Nifty, as soon as I get some extre money (yeah right), I'm ordering one, and then I'm going to try it using my Explorer, to see if you're photoshopping stuff again.

all i can say is wow

[LCHIEN]

Hmmm, must be a very weak truck for its size.

[jabe]

Awesome!!! Waiting to get mine! Agree you should patent it & sell it to Delta/Dewalt they need to change to a riving knife set-up with your shark guard.

rest of the truck?

so when do we get to see the rest of the truck? looks nicely customized......
