tool descriptions
DRILL PRESS - A tall upright machine useful for sud-
denly 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-painted project
which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing
could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL - Cleans paint off bolts and then throws
them somewhere under the workbench with the speed
of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned
calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to
say, 'Oh sh --'
SKILL SAW - A portable cutting tool used to make
studs too short.
PLIERS - Used to round off bolt heads. Also used in
the creation of blood-blisters.
BELT SANDER - An electric sanding tool commonly
used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major
refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW - One of a family of cutting tools built on
the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy
into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the 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
lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire.
Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub
out of which you want to remove a bearing race..
TABLE SAW - A large stationary power tool commonly
used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER - Normally used to stab
the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style
paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing 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 surround-
ing that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order
to replace a 50 cent part.
HOSE CUTTER - A tool used to make hoses 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 the object
we are trying to hit.
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.
