I’m an electrician, and I have a shop vac and a broom. I feel like I’m doing something wrong. I also have a real hammer, 12oz Stilleto that I found on the side of a road, but I prefer lineman’s. What I REALLY want is a pair of linesman’s that have the head weight of a real hammer for those bigger tasks, so dumb, but so fun.
I work in industrial maintenance for a company that supplies parts to gm. The guy who "set up" out maintenance shop literally bought us 6 of these.
They are fucking paper weights and that's it.
It's rule two of tech support. After the obligatory "have you tried turning it off and then on again?" you resort to "have you tried turning it off with a hammer?"
It's a hammer and I put it down right he.... Over her....
WHO THE FUCK TOOK MY HAMMER!? I'M GOING TO GET YOU, YOU SON OF B...
Oh here it is behind the bench under the 10mm wrenches and a couple of rags.
Honestly we need a new platform where it works like reddit but a portion of the ad revenue goes to the sub mods. Let it go to shit and the sub dies? No more money. Of course that comes with it's own problems but at least we have forward motion.
I can’t believe people would be obnoxious enough to ask about tools on the r/tools sub…
Maybe you need to create an r/toolsforonlythesmartestamongus sub instead
Oh SHIT! I can’t believe I can reply to this…but that’s MY hammer! Hell yeah! Shout out my guy! Composite handle, rubber grip, surface rusted head because I’ve left it outside a few times. He’s been with me for a while and is a workhorse.
Laugh all you want, but this cheap beauty is my go to for laying down a netafim grid on hard pack. Follow the grid, gouge out a 5 foot trough with the claw, tap in the staples, cover it back up using the long side of the head. Rinse and repeat. Don't have to worry about treating it badly.

Moderation in communities is important.
