That's a specialty though. I've never worked for a company that actually owned their own crane. It's more cost effective to subcontract a crane company when one is needed for a job.

There's a job I could see being lost to automation in my lifetime.

This hardware center I was at today had a section of discontinued Channellock models. What stood out to me was this particular model of mini linesman pliers that were selling for I think $30. May even have been $40 but I don't remember. I picked up two of these about two years ago for like $16 each.
