The basic premise is that tools are easily trained, like beasts of the forest, they will be naturally attracted to your aura. But, like wild animals, they will try to seek out secret places where they can be alone. This is fine, is just a natural progression....Always keep buying tools. I am absolutely convinced that if only I took all of the correct drugs I'd fully comprehend what you're saying. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wierd and heavy shit. Breaker bars, angle grinders, balljoint breakers, spare bulbs, cables, Allen bolts, blahdeblah. No mention of hammers? I’m disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m disappointed. right now my favourite lump hammer has taken up permanent residence in the van. Replaced the starter just over a year ago and about every fifth journey requires violence to commence... Just to add - is it wrong that I call the sledgehammer Sister?

Mark/Foggy Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I tell you what I covet now......I want a surface plate. I got offered a free one a while back. Was at a factory sort of place. 2m x 3m Let it go...Even I can't justify that as a cool coffee table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real use for one at the moment but I want one now too. (This post may be influenced by sailor Jerry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark/Foggy Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Oh, they can be animals, but we are smarter.....We have the tools to temper their Demonic Nature.. Or in your case...epic fail. Fucker will bite you if you don't show it some BDMS and let it know that torture will be play time 'cause you have nice tools. @hwakati Buy more tools.
