[FONT=&quot]DRILL PRESS[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]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.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]WIRE WHEEL[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh, shit!"

[/FONT]

A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]PLIERS[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]HACKSAW[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]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.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]VISE-GRIPS[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]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.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]OXYACETYLENE TORCH[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:
[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]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..

Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]BAND SAW[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
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.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.

[FONT=&quot]PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:[/FONT][FONT=&quot]

Implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

A tool used to make hoses too short.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]HAMMER[/FONT][FONT=&quot]:[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
