23 out of 30. A few that I missed I disagree with their answers. (I've never seen a box cutter with a 4-6" blade).
Some others were the history questions.

21 out of 30 I agree about the box cutter. I have sliding Olfa Type box cutters , but they have snap off blades. And they're not what I would consider a normal box cutter. I too got an F in the history section

I actually gave up after the hole saw question. The answers were not consistent with the questions. Up until then I had only missed the history questions. I don't know who thought that test up but they need to give up that topic, and stay outta home improvement stores and tool stores.

19 out of 30 here.
Pretty much missed all of the history question and also have to question a 6" box cutter blade.

25/30.
Hole saw = plastic? Agree on wood, but also used on metal. Plastic can be tough. as it tends to gum up.
Hacksaw - teeth? I guess robots could have metal teeth?

holy advertisements.
agree with most the comments on history. Don't need to know when it was made to use it proficiently. I feel like someone just made a ton of add money off of my test.

20/30 for me. What year was the doohickey thingmabob invented? Answer: Who gives a F...
The history questions are certainly ones that would be hard to answer. Not the Philips one but the first claw hammer and another one I forgot. I also disagree with the "Miter saw is a type of..." The answer assumes a power miter saw and would be incorrect for a hand saw. Hence, there really was no correct answer. The box cutter question seems to assume snap off blades. I did just so-so but I would also argue that several of their questions are wrong or badly phrased.

I think the question was how long are the box cutter themselves. Not the blade. I got 22. I missed mostly the history questions.

23 for me also. I must agree everyone on the box cutter blade length, although I do like my Olfa NOL-1.

Same here.
But now that I think of it, box cutters with the snap off type blades are usually in that range. I was thinking utility knife...

24.
Box cutters, hacksaws, hole saws, my!
Some of the questions were ambiguous at best. The history questions required a few WAGs. I can't say it's a real test of shop/tool knowledge.

21 for me. I've never seen a box cutter blade longer than 2 1/2 inches and I've worked at a supermarket where they are standard issue for 36 years. We have gone through about six different types of cutters during the years, none with a 4" blade.

24 for me. A box cutter itself is 4 to 6 but not the blade. The snap off blade one got me. Didn't know they where that old.

Can any of you remember how old the oldest hammer was in the pop quiz? Have you heard of the London Hammer? I don't really know how old the London Hammer is but.......

I got most except for the ones like the box cutter and hole saw and the ancient history stuff. No idea what the exact number was since the site 404'd at the end of the quiz and when I refreshed the page it started over.

Agree about the box cutter. But I do like History. I read a lot of books about History. Not many books on this subject tho.
