Title: Tools/equipment that you just aren't good with/have bad luck with. Post by: retrorussell on April 07, 2019, 01:49:48 AM Hey folks.
I will admit up front I am NO handyman and will usually call someone I know in to do work for me that requires ANY kind of major woodworking/roof/window/electrical/whatever handyman skills. But I have tried on occasion messing with stuff myself with certain equipment and I NEVER get it right! Or the equipment breaks down for some reason. For me, RECIPROCAL SAWS. They're these electrical saws with a long blade sticking straight out of the end that you cut straight lines with. With my luck the blade pops out EVERY time, and I just can't seem to get the damn blade to stay in! Also, the Weed Eater blade breaks off practically if I breathe on it. I made the mistake of running it in shorts once-- I kept it far away from me, but the blade broke off, flew at me and slashed open my knee! And it doesn't matter what brand of trowel I use, the blade bends. Just digging regular weeds like anyone else, but the blade bends on me. Sh**! Anyone else just have bad luck with certain tools/hardware/equipment/etc.? Title: Re: Tools/equipment that you just aren't good with/have bad luck with.

Like, I can swing a hammer, but if it's car related or anything related to washers, dryers, dishwashers, drywall, etc etc etc, or cars, or watches, or computers, or laptops or anything. Basically I like hitting s**t. Title: Re: Tools/equipment that you just aren't good with/have bad luck with. Post by: RCMerchant on April 08, 2019, 09:14:08 PM Fixing new model cars.
