    How did I successfully misuse (and not abuse) a tool today?

    Found the Alfred Lilly Auger several years ago. Had no use for it, but it was within budget and cool. Misused it once in a fit of desperate need as a backyard post hole digger. That moment has extended to years of regular augering because it works quite well. Pretty much the same thing...

    Pliers; How Many Is Too Many?

    Some Threads draw people out who might have been Lurking when they see that they "know enough about that pair of pliers over there that belonged to my grand uncle" to contribute to a very general conversation. The "Welcomes" to those new people along with encouragement and observations from so...

    Pliers; How Many Is Too Many?

    Appreciate your effort and the input of others to make Pliers almost important . . . as the Thread approaches its 2 year anniversary. If it was a marriage, of which I have had way too many, it'd be Cotton.

    How did I successfully misuse (and not abuse) a tool today?

    How did I successfully misuse (and not abuse) a tool today? Made what is known as “Pepper Sauce” which in the South means Peppers in Vinegar and not Tabasco, Crystal or Frank’s Hot Sauce type, thick versions.

    Bell system

    Found some Pliers last week, one Kraueter, One No Name and two Bell Systems. The previous owner was a Vietnam Veteran (Welcome home) turned Telco guy, so they were in the right workshop. - Bell System, 5601-5, Kraeuter Diagonal Cutting Pliers Needle Point, "The nose of these diagonals is...

    More Whatzits--Can we make this the official Whatzit thread?

    Bought 6 odd clamps on Friday for $1.00 each because “Why not?”, they were cheap and they called to both of us that they had to be useful . . . somehow. Learned what they were and that eliminated “Whatzit” but rather than clutter the Forum with another Thread I figured there might be an...
