OMG, what a terribly ridiculous thing to do to save a few bucks.
It reminds me of the guys who used some sort of glorified soldering
iron to cut "new tread" into their car tires when they were bald. To
save the expense of having to buy new ones.

Yup. Another accident waiting to happen. The ones I saw in Europe had
sort of a heated "cutting box" at the tip to "dregde" the tread valley.
It's really sick, just like glueing tire side walls is.
Really sick? Just as a fingernail file and a bent nail are when used
as a chain tool?
