Liftmy250,

That sounds more like a personal problem than a tool problem. Hot girl, problems with spewed fluids and an inability to lift your tool? Perhaps you should see a doctor???

 

Slot screw drivers.....work for everything except tightening/loosening slot screws.......

 

hahaha well you may be right. i saw the doc, he said there's not much he can do for me, but he gave me this pamphlet to read....somethin about birds and bees, or somethin like that. i dunno

 

Me and my best friend are vampires. Well at least for staying up all night we are. That said we are always working on vehicles it seems after the sun goes down and neither of us has a garage. I have all kinds of work lights. It seems I have developed a fetish for work lights. I compare worklights like women compare shoes. Cheap socket wrenches make the hair on the back of my neck stand up and scream. Nothing worse. It's not that I buy them but my dad keeps picking them up somewhere.

 

Gotta second the flat head screwdriver ... and might as well add the Phillips one along with it Good for pry bars... little else....

Thank god for Robertson and hex head screws... haven't had to drill anything out in a while now.

 

I'll see your router and raise you a hand plane. I'm never able to keep mine in trim. And for all my practice, my welds always look horrible. The worklight used to be a problem too, but I found a better way. I just wind a cheap strand of clear christmas lights through the engine and chassis. Works fine.

 

It's got to be the old 4' wood level that I keep tellin' my guys to throw away- turn it 4 different directions, it gives you 4 different readings....

 

I still have one of those. Got it for Xmas when they first came out. I did find a use for it, though. I wrap it around a hull brace in my duck boat and use it to light up the bottom so I can see to untangle my decoys.
I haven't found another use for it yet.

I also have a fluorescent trouble light that drives me nuts. Great light, stays where I want it, but the friggin' rocker switch is in the handle so I turn it off accidentally every time I pick it up.

 

trouble light mixed with a creeper, light cord wedges wheels when you want to move or is tangled in wheels when you need more cord.

 

I have a few different 3/8 drive ratchets. I always grab the craftsman because it has the socket release button. The other ones I have don't have this feature. Nothing is more annoying than try to pull the socket off of the ratchet with greasy hands! This happens mostly when you only have one hand free to change sockets!! But then thats what slot screw drivers are for!

 

My two newest impact guns both leak air. And it's not the connectors, it's something internal, like an o-ring or something. Drives me nuts. All my other air tools don't have this problem, just the impacts.

 

I am convinced that my 4.5 in. grinder loathes me, every time I use it, it tries to bite me.

 

My flourescent work light. It always seems to roll about on the floor and end up shining in my eyes.

 

Another vote for the slotted screw driver - AND the fastener itself.......OK a hundred years ago, but ENOUGH ALREADY, time to let it die.

The slotted screw....#56 on my list of things I just don't 'get'.

 

My dad has this older 1/2" Milwalkee hammer drill which generates insane amounts of torque. I love that drill but I swear it has something against me! Almost everytime I am drilling steel with it, the drill bit will bite just as soon as it's about to come out the other side. It doesn't matter if I let of the trigger that damn thing still wrenches back and twists the heck out of my wrist, it feels like it's gonna rip my friggin hand off! If that doesn't happen, it will mash my knuckles against the nearest hard or sharp surface! No Mercy I swear!
