[AT] Fw: Truck & Tractor Tool Guide Part Two

[Louis]

I thought I was the only one to set fire with an angle grinder.  Spencer
was at my shop while he was writing how to restore a two cylinder
tractor. I was grinding on something the sparks went into my garbage can
and set some paper on fire.  At the same time I got a spark in my eye.

Spencer said he should put a section in his book about shop safety.

             Truck & Tractor Tools Part Two

 ANGLE GRINDER - Device guaranteed to set fire to all the rags and open
tins 
of highly flammable cleaning fluids, at the far end of the shop, that
you 
were sure the sparks couldn't reach ..

 DRILL - Device invented to find every blunt drill you own .. which,
once 
you  miraculously find a sharp drill, is guaranteed to burn out, when
you  have 2  critical holes left to drill ..

 LARGE FLAT BLADE SCREWDRIVER - Device which beckons you to use it as a
pry  bar and chisel .. and which, 30 seconds after you break the end
off, doing 
so .. is needed to undo those large flat blade screws you just
discovered ..

 SCREW EXTRACTORS - Cunning devices designed with just enough strength
of 
metal, that ensures they break off in the broken stud, just as the stud 
starts to move .. the speed at which they break off, is directly in 
proportion to the inaccessibility of the spot where the broken stud is 
located ..

 ... and I'm sure, there's a lot more ....
