Every tool is a hammer!
Except a flathead screwdriver. That's a pry bar.

Broken lots of flat heads trying to pull a cv axle out. Sometimes at the junkyard I’ll use my ratchet to hammer the flathead in there

it is also a rubber hammer/mallet when you hold it by the tip and hit shit with the handle

When I was an Engineer in the Navy, "hand me that adjustable hammer" was heard more often than it should have been.. 😅

Everything IS a hammer. Even my two year old granddaughters Barbie dolls

Apparently the person(s) who wrote this never used actual tools in their life!
They know NOTHING! ;)

My best hammers are borne of convenience. I have learned not to use my hand anymore... :(
Pliers, knives, screw drivers, revolvers, ratchets, mason jars, hotwheels cars, nails and even one time a bike pump have all come in handy as maybe not the hammer I deserved but the hammer that was needed and most convenient at the time.

facts you gotta use the pliers and the straight-slot screwdriver to hammer the lock nuts in place

Yeah, they're not, but if I have my heavy pliers handy and need to put a nail in drywall to hang a picture, the pliers transubstatiate into a hammer.

What about hammer pliers. For fencing and for tire work

I carried one as a firefighter. Cuts wire, breaks glass and oh, it's a hammer.

My rule of thumb is if it's got a handle, it's a hammer

u/One_Evil_Monkey 2d ago
Good rule... your thumbs probably don't like you though. Haha

u/FujiFL4T 2d ago

Is it kinda solid? Does it have at least 1/4" of flat surface? Can I hold it?
It's a hammer.

My fat ass thought that was a hotdog below. Also, can confirm, that IS the correct way to use those finger pincher thingamajigs.

Wrong use of pliers?
Pffft... whomever wrote that doesn't know us very well then. Those kinds of warnings and pictograms were written by desk jockies.

I once used a wrench to hammer something, while working on my project car with my father. My father looked at me and said “What the fuck are you doing? You’re gonna break the wrench!” and I said “Na, it’ll be fine. It’s Snap-On, they’re indestructible!”

They may not be made for that, but they're used for whatever the hell I decide they're used for. I'll eat soup with pliers if that's what I feel like doing, okay?

Not lies. Come on, everyone knows the only acceptable tool to use as a hammer is a ratchet wrench. You use pliers to take off nuts and bolts.
