More tools explained...



Binders - A couple of months ago someone (?) had their favorite
definitions.  I would add a couple:

Putty Knife - A wooden handled tool with a 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" steel blade-
usually affixed to any flat surface - used for reminding you that you
really did need two hands to epoxy two items together- and proving it by
forming a bond 100 times stronger than any bond you might ever intend to
do

Vermont-American 1/8" Cobalt drill bit:  Used to drill out seized wiper
blade screws, only after successfully stripping the screw heads with
just-too-large Craftsman screwdriver.  This extra-hard bit is also
useful for drilling small pits into the windshield when the drill
wanders past the screw into the aluminum wiper arm.  Note:  These
expensive bits are single use only.  Once you have finished your
project, the bit will be nowhere to be found the next time you need it,
even if you leave it in the drill.  The only one you will be able to
find is the dull, Fisher-Price bit you thought you hurled across the
garage in frustration before you broke down and bought the expensive one
from the hardware store.
