Tools 101

"Any tool can be a weapon if you hold it right" -Ani Difranco

Tools. It is said that it is important to use the right tool for the job, however, in my experience, this leads to an inordinate number of trips to Lowe's to return the thing you thought you needed but can only get store credit for because you accidentally threw the receipt away. Some tools are indispensable though, heres my top 10...

1. Duct tape I didnt deal with any ducts, but found many other uses:
straightening lampshades, patching holes, stifling dissent
2. Hammer: nail hammering, demolition, thumb smashing
3. Phillips head screw driver
4. Flathead screwdriver (see also butter knife)
5. Cordless drill
6. Electric sander (gives the illusion of actual sanding)
7. Cash: to pay pizza guy
8. Paint scraper: to scrape paint and unstick windows inadvertently

painted closed
9. Saw: to saw stuff, duh

10. Tape measure (and someone to hold the other end)
