Certainly much easier and cheaper to heat a garage than to add a/c.

haha I dont mind working in the cold so much, I just have a hard time holding onto nuts and bolts with gloves on. Especially when you slam your hand on something and it hurts like 10x worse than it ever normally would.

Seriosuly! I was working on a wooden shift knob yesterday and the first thing had to do was get this metal sleeve out of this other wooden knob mark gave me, and the first grip with the pliers, SNAP. Pinched my damn finger right in there. Hurt sooo much more than it should have. Our dehumidifier almost had a pair of Channel Locks sent through it...:laugh3:

Ah, so you nearly had to use the "GOD DAMMIT @#$$#@#" tool. My "GOD DAMMIT $%r$#@%@#$" tool is a worthless cheap pair of drum brake spring pliers, I throw it across the driveway/garage and yell GOD DAMMIT @#$#@$#@$@% when something injures me or frustrates me a lot. Such tools are required for working on nearly any vehicle.

Re: NAC Lots-O- Posts Thread-Part Deux
If I am frustrated I usually pull out the properly named "problem solver". This problem solver is a 2 foot craftsman screwdriver along with a rubber mallet or other BFH if more force is needed. It has done very well for me in the past in solving just about every issue, though when brute force cannot solve the problem, I usually resort to pulling out the angle grinder and going to town without really thinking what my next step is... which usually results in the next step involving this very same problem solver.
See I have different tools for frustration or injury. Injury I usually just end up cursing (sometimes under my breath since my mother is a hardcore anti-language advocate and can usually hear my cursing escapades quite well if I am in the garage).

Re: NAC Lots-O- Posts Thread-Part Deux
Hahah there is a whole list of tools that have to do with this stuff I will find it and post it. Its HILARIOUS.
But what I usually do is just send a wrench out the gayrage door down the driveway so it slides and is loud and i get the feeling of release haha. OR we have this old ass metal tool box that is bent to hell and sucks so I will pick it up, (heavy as shiiiit) and drop that mufuugaaa onto the ground making the loudest most accomplishing noise ever

Re: NAC Lots-O- Posts Thread-Part Deux
Tool Definitions
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.
WIRE WHEEL:
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, s#%*!"
SKILL SAW:
A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
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 to the object we are trying to hit usually smashing the thumb that is holding the object that you are trying to pound into whatever it is that you are working on effectively eliminating the need for manicure care on that thumbnail for weeks. See: Son of a b*tch TOOL
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.
Son of a b*tch TOOL:
Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling, "Son of a b*tch" at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

he said problem solver, not problem creator :dunno:
My problem solver is usually a 36 inch crowbar or my breaker bar. I also have a backup problem solver which consists of a large pipe wrench and a 4 foot cheater bar.

Re: NAC Lots-O- Posts Thread-Part Deux
And a side note: is it bad to drive with rotted rockers? I.e. my rockers are rusted pretty bad, should I replace them before I drive to western MA, or do you think they should be OK for normal driving? I do plan on replacing them... it's just a matter of whether or not I should sheet metal patch them before this weekend or if I can put it off until I replace the rockers with 2x6 or something along those lines.
I lost my 2 ft breaker bar somewhere
