A hammer is not for digging

[ezover]

Got you beat. 100%! I come home from work, the wife is painting the living room. I see my Starrett blade sitting on the living room floor. "What is my ruler doing in the living room?"

"I needed to close the paint can, and you told me to put something on the can to protect the can from the hammer."

"I said a scrap chunk of wood, not my $80 ruler."

"You spent $80 on a ruler?!"

"I'll be in the garage."

been there lololol

Mine cut steel wire 12-14 awg multiple times with my brand new knipex cable shears.

Did that myself cutting aerial cable. Now I know how that soft aluminum wire manages not to stretch to the ground.

I use to work as a plumber and have used my Estwing framing hammer a **** ton of times to do underground plumbing installs. I made a few nay sayers believers......

I have found that a masonry hammer works really well digging in hard soil. Seriously...

Whatever any guy here does, don't ever use her good sewing shears for everyday stuff like cutting paper, wrapping paper, string, trimming the ************* off the dog, whatever.

That was a guaranteed way to get a right scolding & a bad, no an evil look from my 5'3" sainted mother - move toward those sewing shears. Yikes!!

First off, I managed to dig a very nice trench for some wonderboard skirting around a shed I was building last week, so in some instances, a hammer (especially a nice rip claw Estwing) makes a great diggin tool.

But I am reminded of the time I opened the tool box drawer where I kept my hammers, only to find 2 of my fiberglass handled ball pein hammers missing. I know I didn't lose them and my wife never touches a tool (go where you want with that) so I kinda decided to quiz the only one of my daughters that ever tries to build anything.

I asked her if she knew what happened to the hammers. Instantly she bolted for the woods out behind the house. A couple minutes later she came back with her hands behind her back. She looked at me and said that in school they learned about about metals, and that when iron or steel is left outside what happens to it is called corrosion. With that she proudly produced the hammers from behind her back and proclaimed "They were right!"

Not only a wonderful first post, but one that I can really relate to!

Next step - getting a place and telling the OM (or BF) that, sorry, the shop is MINE.

Welcome to the madhouse!

I usually try not to jump in on another mans story tellin. But, I guess I'll throw one in there. Many years ago shorty after my wife and I married and bought our first house. I was fiddling around in the garage one day. She just happened to walk out there and noticed a wasp flying around under the work bench right under me. I looked up under the bench a and a paper wasp had built him self quite the spread. Not considering future actions, I just did a quick look around for something to spray it with. You know, wasp killer, PB Blaster, Carb cleaner, OH! hey 3M corner bead adhesive! Perfect! I grabbed it took a quick aim from about 12" away and glued the wasp right there to his crib. I then went on about my business.........Fast forward about a week. I walk in the door from work one afternoon, and as I'm getting ready to relax a bit. I notice a couple of strange lines on the wall.....You guys see where this is going?.... One line even went up the wall across a picture and, what's that? A wasp glued to the ceiling. I was pissed and hysterically laughing at the same time. I promptly asked the wife what the hell happened and she was so proud of her self, "I got it!" with a huge smile on her face. All I could say was "Why did you use spray glue?" I don't think I need to tell you guys what her answer was.
