f**k that, I smack my ratchet spanners with a lump hammer to crack s**t free
Life is too short to be messing about like a woman 😂
I think working mobile fleet and hgv for 10 years shaped the way I care for tools.
Start out caring, drying them off and after a while you’re on your back wondering how you ended up doing this... dragging your new impact gun through the wet mud & your tools are all soaked through. It’s when you get back out Monday morning and open your tool box and it’s all pissing wet inside still, been stewing all weekend.
To be fair though there’s not much I’ve broken despite the abuse.
I did mention it the other day but my Halfords flexi ratchet spanners are still good and I have hammered (literally) them too. Broke most of my Mac ones doing the same abuse.
I love flexi stuff, some people don’t seem to but I use my flexi ratchets for almost every job. It’s pretty rare I’ll pickup a rigid ratchet.
