We’ve all been there, needing to do something but the right tool isn’t to hand
When have you looked at the wrong tool and thought, fuck it, that’ll do the job? What was it and what were you doing?
It’s usually using a spanner as a hammer for me |

Normally using a flat head screwdriver as a chisel
I’m one of those wankers who likes to have the tool for the job though, when I worked for my dad he wouldn’t by any tools ever all we had to cut with was one old sthil saw that only started 40% of the time and wouldn’t idle so had to keep finger on trigger, I remember sitting for hours on a Friday afternoon trying to get a drive cut in waiting for the sthil saw deciding to start so now I make sure have an abundance of tools for the job |

And when you have the right tool you realise why that is the tool |

I've used a pen to try and (unsuccessfully) open a corked bottle.
We've used a geological hammer for quite a bit of DIY.
Probably lots of other things I've tried to bodge but can't remember right now  |
