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.?
Watches. I love having them, but they never last long be they clockwork, battery operated, digital... A year is about the longest one will last me.
I tried to use the Anal Intruder from Top Secret once. :wink:
locks. locks laugh when they see me coming and seize up immediately.
If it doesn't require me using a hammer, I'm out. So basically everything.
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.
Fixing new model cars. I can fix anything from 1989 back.
Computers. I don't no s**t about them.
