How many "men" in here can use tools?

[pappy]

i can

[Trauma-san]

Uh... I don't even get the point of the question.  Of course you can use tools.  Inferior primates like baboons and chimpanzees can use tools.  

I don't mean simple tools like forks.  I'm talking about Industrial tools.  

Be more specific.  You mean a fucking circular saw?   You point, you pull the trigger, the blade spins around and cuts the shit out of something.  You mean a drill? You point, you pull the trigger, and the bit spins around and cuts the shit out of something.  I just don't see what's so hard about using tools.  Honestly, Bobo the monkey could do that.  

[The Big Bad Ass]

Not much experience with power tools, but I do alot of light assembly. Desks, furniture ect. Part of my job.

[mrtonguetwista]

Looking at the 3 fingers that are still attached to my left hand I would have to say the answer is no.

Good! You know how they work. But, can you actually use them without destroying things? It's obvious what he's asking, you just try too hard to be an intellectual.

[Trauma-san]

I'm not trying.  I don't care if you or anyone else thinks I'm intelligent or a dumbass.  Who cares?  

My true, honest thought on what he asked was "Who the fuck can't use a tool?"  If you took something else out of it, that's your inference.

I've welded, used plasma cutters, molded Industrial plastic, any hand tool, Not only do I know how to use a lathe to machine metal, I know how to fix it because I know motor control..I know how to use Autocad to make blueprints. I know how to use fiberglass,bondo etc..I make sick custom sub enclosures with fiberglass..I am going to school for Archatectual and Strutural engineering.

Anyone can use a  drill, but in order to be successful, you have to know what rpm is needed, and how fast you drill a hole for whatever material.  Like if you go through plywood too fast, you'll tear out the back of it.  To get a clean hole through plywood, you go throught slow at a high rpm.  You also need to know what kind of bits are best for whatever job.  You use twist drills on metal, high rpm on soft metals, and low rpm on hard metals.  Then you have to add cutting fluid.  Maybe even tap the hole after, and taps are very easy to break.  You have to know when to stop or slow down.  Then you can also shape a spade bit for irregular holes.  If your drilling concrete you need a special drill that pounds like a hammer as it spins.

So yeah, I'm sure you could use a drill to drill some neato little holes in a board, but if I gave you a job to do that involved drilling through different materials with different bits, I'm sure you'd be lost.

molded Industrial plastic

Like Injection Moulding?  Or Roto Moulding?  I've been Vacuum forming and fabricating plastic for the past few months.  I've made a shit load of Roto moulds too tho.

Why are you sure I'd be lost?  You have no idea who I am or what I can do.  You act like you're some kind of specialist because you know enough to use a different bit in different materials.  Big fucking deal, anybody could figure that out.  I know the same shit you do, but I don't go around acting like that makes me a 'man'.

You've obviously never seen Home Improvement, lol.  I siad you'd be lost because of your initial explanation of how to use a drill.  It showed me that you don't have much knowledge in tools.  I was just showing you that there's more to it.  And no, you don't know the same shit I do.  You have no idea who I am or what I can do.

Only those who have tools understand..

[SGV]

LMAO. Drama is such an idiot.

[Primo]

Yeah I used to do vacuum molding and injection molding for a medical company. It sucked..The fumes at the shop gave me a constant head ache. The Freecoat shit you spray on the molds is some nasty shit. I was gettin colds like every week ,constant headaches. The weird shit is that I hardly ever even get a cold until i worked there.Now that I've quit that place , I havent been sick. I'm just warnin ya u workin with some nasty shit and you bound to have cancer comin out a play like that. lol

[Lincoln]

I built a table for my CD player in shop last year, so I'm alright with tools. My Pops is way better though, he's supposed to show me some stuff in the next while because I'm preparing to move out of the house in a while.

[Leroy]

of course I can.  My dad built our entire house, and did 95% of all repairs and addons himself with help of me and my brother.  same with work on the car.  He has 100's of tools and machines in his garage.  Plus I've had a few years of woodshop and done construction jobs.  One thing I don't know how to do which I really wanna learn is welding.

Welding is not hard at all thats what im going to do right after high school and college, man im going to get paid about $30 an hour my friends dad is going to hook me up and once i get more money i can start my own buisness and get more ive been welding since my freshman year at High School, in Ag Mechanics they taught me to work with every tool you can think of so im pretty much set! but anyways on the topic of welding its so easy you can learn the first day but you will need ALOT of practice before you become really good like i already know how to weld upside down and people and colleges are just learning that by my buddys dad hooked me up he said if i graduate he will give me one of his welding machines n shit. its pretty tight
