I thought they used strap on tools in Space.

IIRC, one of the Gemini astronauts lost control of a Hasselblad camera on orbit, thus giving Sweden its first satellite.

“I thought they used strap on tools in Space.”

Now that is just a nasty thought

I don’t think atmospheric burn up is covered under Craftsman’s warranty...

I had to look at your FR profile to see where you live. I guessed PA but I was wrong. Just another guy whose wife’s name is “her” or “she”...

I have cousins in PA who always refer to their wives as “she” and “her.” I remind them their wives have names but they’re not listening. They’re too old to change now. Their dad did the same thing with his wife, my aunt.

Had two high school friends in upstate NY who were raised in PA and they also refer to their wives the same way..

Now to the thread itself - being a female, I’ve probably said more than enough for one post...

“”My wife has this amazing power such that when she is finished using any tool, all she has to do is open her hand and that tool CEASES TO EXIST.””

THAT is funny...clever!

Touching my husband’s tools was a NO NO - if they were, they better be back where he put them the next time he reached for them....He’s no longer with us and I’d even welcome back those days of him fussing and fuming over whatever!!!

Had some young neighbors. The wife asked if I could help her husband install new french doors in the kitchen to the patio. I went over as she was heading to the store. Helped the husband get the doors from the garage out to the patio and he looked at me pleading with his eyes for me to tell him what next.

I said, okay, we need to get the old doors off. We need a drill with a phillips head bit. He said to hold on and went back to the garage. After a few minutes, I stepped back in to see what the hold up was. The door was open to the garage and I could hear him on the phone to his wife... “Hey Honey? Where do you keep the drill?...”

Ugh, So I yelled to him I’d be right back and slid back to my shop and packed a pouch full of tools. I give him some credit though. He was good and humble about it and picked up things pretty quick.

The next Spring, I found it-out in the grass, rusted. I asked her how it ended up in the grass, I don’t remember know what she said, but she used it for something, and forgot to bring it in.

Between 1977 and 1980 I was making a living doing marine electronics repair. No kids at the time. By 1983, I had purchased a new house and had two kids. My tools were on my bench in the garage and only used as necessary for occasional tasks. Over time, I discovered some of the contents were missing. My kids were taking tools out to neighbors houses to "fix" problems and just leaving them. I put locks on all my toolboxes to stop the loss.

Funny but no tools are replaceable without the old tool in hand. And Craftsman as it was no longer exists.
