Amateur versus experience Honey doer

[smooth72]

An experience honey doer will always figure out how to buy a new tool every time he hears, “honey will you do…”?

27 years experience, pass it on to the newlyweds.

Ps: You really don’t have to need or even use the tool on the project, just have it laying out when you are working on it.

My wife no longer questions my tool purchases. My tactic: I am pretty excited to show her how things work, so I just get started into some details; she couldnt care less, so she just tunes it all out. "Thats nice dear." Works every time.

Do you normally "wear" grits?

I dont get asked to many questions about tool purchases. hell some times if she know something is coming up she will ask me if I need any new tools to complete said task if she happens to be in town with out me.

Sounds like a bachelor

My wife loves to cook and equates my tool purchases to her kitchen "tool" purchases. Her Dacor dual fuel convection oven cost more than my tool box, so there are no gripes when I buy a new tool.

There are so many tools around here that Jerri wouldn't know if a new one came through the door!

 

[rsanter]

my wife has only ever complained a couple of times about the number of tools that I have and it was in the first year or so. after that she has figured out that the tools equate the car getting fixed for much less than a shop, the house stuff getting fixed as well as the home upgrades.
my wife has bought me tools that I have said would be needed to do a project

My tools have paid for themselves many times over, benefitting both me and the wife. She could not care less what tools I buy, as long as I don't ask her to pay for it. And if it's a really expensive tool that is going to save us money, she wouldn't even mind helping to pay for it.

Those are some good tips - keep them coming!

This goes both ways - I have abscounded with several of my wife's turkey basters. I kept telling her that her lesbian friends were stealing them
Actually, my wife has bought me many tools so I consider myself fortunate. Plus, she's great at handling my tool Is it a hint she is always buying me Snap-On?
