1. If a hammer, wrench, handle or other hand held tool is being used on the railroad in a normal manner and breaks, the railroad legally caused the injury

2. If a mechanical tool such as a power lift, power wrench, come-along, etc. breaks or malfunctions or causes injury, the railroad legally caused the injury.
