Re: wrenching ( was: Capacitor sniffing) OT

 

I used to have a cheap hammer that someone broke off most of the head, driving a 16 penny nail. It was in the box of 'loaner tools' as a joke. :)

OTOH, someone could have been badly hurt, or killed by that sharp chunk of metal flying across the room.

Yeah, I had a friend in high school who used to buy cheap tools at the swap meet.? The infamous "lead-head" hammer that got dents in it after pounding in nails and the ratchet extender that twisted at the ratchet end but didn't move at the socket end come to mind.? ?I kept telling him that he was going to get hurt using crappy tools.? Not sure whatever happened to that guy...? Poor quality tools are not only false economy, they can be dangerous.
