Tools/equipment that you just aren't good with/have bad luck with.

[retrorussell]

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.

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.

Computers. I don't no s**t about them.
