And now I can be confident that he can take care of his and my tools. That he'll always put things back and always use the proper tool for the job.

No more hammering in screws with an adjustable spanner 😮

It is very important that fathers teach their sons how to screw properly. It not just about hammering away. But why does he need to take care of yours?

"Son, it's time we talked about sex..."

"Sure Dad, what do you want to know?"

None of that is a euphemism.

until your back is turned. I looked around the other night at the selection of tools I used to change a head set.
Amongst them were an axe and a small grinder..... 😳

[i]No more hammering in screws with an adjustable spanner[/i]

Guilty as charged...just yesterday I was using a big adjustable plumbers wrench to knock rawl plugs into the wall (with a screw in the rawl plug to stop it mushrooming)

if the only tool you have is a hammer, treat everything like a nail 🙂

They aren't screws.

They are "Crinkle Cut Nails" :mrgreen:

And it's not an adjustable spanner if it's being used to bang in screws, it's a "Plumbers Hammer"

:mrgreen:

Adjustable spanners are a multi tool, use mine to [s]hammer[/s] put on crown races.

Don't forget it's sometimes necessary to lube up before screwing your bolt right up to the nuts. Also it's necessary to wear protection at times.
