Tools Explained

Post by jb41339 »

VISE-GRIPS
Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
TABLE SAW
A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.
BAND SAW
A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good large pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.
STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER
A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.
HOSE CUTTER
A tool used to make hoses too short.
S.O.B. TOOL
Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the shop while yelling "S.O.B" at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.
