I wont buy that hammer !

I'm learning how to fix my own house. So far it's cost me a fortune to correct all my mistakes, and things I wrecked. but I got to learn somehow. I decided that my mistakes are mainly caused by the lack of proper tools, so I got me a tool catalog and am placing a huge order. There's a problem though. I was looking at all the hammers, and wanted to get one of each until I saw the one called a BALL PEEN hammer. I think we all know that they are not allowed to use the word PENIS in a tool catalog, and it's really a BALL PENIS hammer. Damnit.... that sounds like torture. Why would anyone buy one of those? I suppose they just sell them to women who hate their husbands. I am NOT ordering that hammer.

They're a specialty hammer. They're only used for nailing someone in the bathroom.

The home workshop can be a very exciting place! I have a half round bastard that I pull out and use occasionally - only on rough jobs.

And which screw gun will you get, will you know what its for.

You should get your wife a stud finder

Better get another one tho. When you piss off your wife you'll need a cross peen hammer.

strange you should mention stud finder. I bought one to help in hanging some cabinets but every time I get close to it it goes off. What up with that ?

You need to invest in foreplane. With a generous investment of time, that foreplane will get you to a GOOOOD finish.

Maybe some screw holders, you don't want that screw to get away!!

Will a rabbet plane do in a pinch?

Yeah yeah yeah, Somebody's always looking for a quickie.

Doncha' wanna make it last?

Foreplane, that's where it's at :-D

Then maybe an impact driver !

Only buy quality tools, and then only buy tools that you need. You'll save a lot of money in the long run. A ball peen hammer is good for metal work.

There's always that bastard file too....you know...when your nearest and dearest wants to sweet talk ya!...Ross
