List your shooters: Part VI

Like handing him the slip joint pliers when he asked for the channel locks

My main object in life was keeping from getting yelled at, or being put on my keyster.

Now, if a boss yells at me, I usually laugh and tell him to see my father for some tips.

The man is trying to keep BigRed down.

Look like I will beat you out!

Still the best pattern for the woods!

My dad had an awesome woodshop in the basement of the house I grew up in, one time, when I was maybe 7 or 8, I decided his table saw would look nice if I spray painted it red. Man, I got it good for that one! I thought I was doing something nice for him, but he didn’t see it that way.

Rule of thumb, if the person holding the flashlight can see, the person asking for it to be held CANNOT.

Channel locks? I didn't realize you were Gen X.

Them is water pump pliers!

I have literally never heard "water pump pliers" until just now. My grandfathers both called them Channel locks, one a WW2 vet and the other a Korean War vet so well-predating Gen X.

Was taught in Jet Engine tech school that their proper name was "water pump pliers". Get to my first duty station and everyone called then channel locks. This was in the late 70's.

How about a "Ford Wrench"? We had a variety of sizes when I worked at UAL, never had a need for one though.

A wrench with smooth jaws is not used for turning threaded pipe. ... These are also known as a Ford wrench owing to this type of wrench being included in the tool kit supplied with every Ford Model A. They are still used by aircraft technicians, mainly when large but low torque fasteners are involved.

I've heard them called Ford Wrench, but it's a Monkey Wrench for me.

Had a nice one, until it came up missing.

I have several Ford wrenches. One of the most loved tools used by jet mechs along with big hammers and safety wire pliers.

My Dad was born in 1924, I was born in 1960, so no Gen Xers in the group.

Anything remotely close to pliers were just pliers when I grew up. If I grabbed the wrong kind it was "not those ****ing pliers, the other ones!"

Only exception was needle nose pliers...got that one right every time.

Wrong pliers? Sounds like a banning offense to me.

Water pump pliers and monkey wrench. Channel locks sounds like some "woke" mechanic with a man bun.
