We got all that and legalized mushrooms to go with our communists and weed everywhere.

It’s a new law of Physics called leverage, pushed into place by democrats who weren’t happy with the balance in the current universe.

Funny to remember what this would have conjured in your imagination when you were in High School versus today now that you're a fully grown adult...
That's hilarious, you're right, that never crossed my mindFunny to remember what this would have conjured in your imagination when you were in High School versus today now that you're a fully grown adult...
Some of my favorite tools, it does help if you know where, when, how hard, how often and when to stop using them.
F22 midsection assembly, I had to remove a thick bracket that was riveted on to a bulkhead. I was tapping on a rivet to remove it with a medium sized balpine and a punch having drilled a small hole through it allready.
Some production supervisor came flying across the floor screaming at me to stop. Said nobody gets to use a hammer on (his) air craft. Told him I didn't work for him kick rocks. Told me to go get my supervisor, again informed him of who I worked for and I don't do fetch. Kept working, good one out of over a dozen solid rivets removed.
My useless boss showed up told me to stop and return to shop, oky dokey.
A week later my boss brang me back.
3 more rivets out 2 buggered up holes, nice !
They wanted me to start since they were behind and said didn't know if the replacement part would work.
Told them I would be back monday as I had a 3 day fishing trip pre planned.
Furthermore new that the replacement part would work since I built it and the engineer copied it to print.
A little expertise and a balpine goes a long way.

F-22 the fighter aircraft? Sounds like an awesome job. I know a guy who tested Raptors before roll out and always wanted to ask him about that experience, but I never bump into him these days.
I was driving across WI Thursday and saw a similar tragedy with ice cream. Gallon buckets of ice cream all over the interstate!
Balpine, southern drawi version of a hammer. Lol
Balpine started as a joke in our shop as we had a bean counter as a boss that didn't know the difference or how to use one.
He made lables for about 25 tool boxes like that and it was a running joke. Best time is when he tried to order some.

So you don’t like Trump. I get it. He’s not perfect. How do you feel about this president?

Haha! You can’t just make stuff up on the internet and expect people to believe it.
It’s “ballpin” hammer. It is made with a flat end on one side to hit things, and a “ball” on one end for hitting pin heads. Where you bin this whole time anyway??? ???
I made this handle from scrap out of a pallet in 1982.
This is a balpine.
Not a nasty steal hammer.

The one on the left, is store bought. The middle is a 2 pound ball peen I made. The right is a 4.5 pound cross peen I made. All of them have bois d' arc (osage orange) handles. I cut the trees, off my place, milled them, and stickered them for two years. Bois d' arc laughs at Hickory.
Been making weld plates. I am aware I need to sweep the torch kerf off the floor. Ignore the floor.
Anvil is a 260 pound JHM Competitor made in Peaster, Texas. It will tolerate a 12# sledge. I made the anvil stand of course.

Hammers are one of the most precision of instruments in the hands of someone who knows how to use them. A predictable amount of force applied instantly to an area... is the definition of precision.
One can tell those are well-used... and well-taken-care-of!

One day people will learn that a 100-ton crane can’t really make a 100-ton pick.
I bet that was a wild ride.
And that’s why you don’t fantasize about hummers from Homers...
