Understood.... I don't know why you can't add pictures when you click on edit. If I forget to add pictures I just make a new post and add the pics then.

Tools from another forum.
At long last, a really comprehensive list of tools that tells it like it is.SKIL SAW:

A portable cutting tool used to make boards too short.

BELT SANDER:

An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

WIRE WHEEL:

Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under theworkbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers inabout the time it takes you to say, 'Oh NO'. Will easily wind a tee shirt off your back.

DRILL PRESS:

A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room,denting the freshly paintedproject which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

CHANNEL LOCKS:

Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.

HACKSAW:

One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, andthe more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

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.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH:

Used almost entirely for igniting various flammable objects in your shop and creating a fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of whichyou want to remove a bearing race.

TABLE SAW:

A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. Very effective for digit removal!

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK:

Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

BAND SAW:

A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut large pieces into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. Also excels at amputations.

TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST:

A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of all the stuff you forgot to disconnect.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER:

Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans andsplashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER:

A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.

PRY BAR:

A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50-cent part.

PVC PIPE CUTTER:

A tool used to make plastic pipe too short.

HAMMER:

Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent to the object you are trying to hit. Also very effective at fingernail removal.

UTILITY KNIFE:

Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door. Works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records,liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use. These can also be used to initiate a trip to the emergency room so adoctor can sew up the damage.

MISCELLANEOUS

Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling at the top of your lungs is also,most often, the next tool that you will need.

A chicken is actuality, an egg is potentiality. Actuality always outweighs potentiality.

Good morning gentlemen. As you probably already know, "My Old Tools" has re-surfaced, and we did learn what happened to that missing first post of his. Finally, we can all stand down. In light of post #61, I'm happy to report that I'm officially ending our search as of 8: A.M. this morning.

...I am, however, hearing reports of another Deleted Post thread. This thread was around last year, but it disappeared, and we all thought that it had for sure died. Usually reliable sources have reported seeing it again, however. There are even reports that some of our members are posting to it again. If these reports are true, we may have to mobilize again. As we all know, deleted posts are hard to find--especially if they have been missing for over a year.

Rest-up for now, but be prepared to stand by later today. We very well may be needed again. The good thing is we may be able to re-use some of our material.

Jim

Gentlemen, it isn't just a rumor. There is another deleted thread out there. It's the one from last year seemingly come back from the dead, and our members are for sure posting to it. Each one of us will need to do our duty (again), and "Turd-250" (whoever you are)--we are counting on you to be our new leader. LOL.
