What I'm referring to is two earlier posts where I mention some of the firearms (tools) but I found this, an email that someone sent me some time ago and I found to be quite humorous.
Enjoy!
Tools Explained
DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly
snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the
chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project
which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
PLIERS: Used to
round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.
BELT
SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs
into major refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW: One of
a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms
human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to
influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.
VISE-GRIPS:
Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else
is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the
palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE
TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your
shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of
which you want to remove a bearing race.
TABLE
SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles
for testing wall integrity.
HYDRAULIC
FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground
after you have installed your new brake shoes , trapping the jack handle firmly
under the bumper.
BAND
SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good
aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can
after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.
TWO-TON
ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of
everything you forgot to disconnect.
PHILLIPS
SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids
or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your
shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw
heads.
STRAIGHT
SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to
convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your
palms.
PRY BAR: A tool
used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove
in order to replace a 50 cent part.
HOSE
CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short.
HAMMER:
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind
of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are
trying to hit.
UTILITY
KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons
delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as
seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund
checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work
clothes, but only while in use.
Hope you found this informative.
