TOOLS EXPLAINED

chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the
freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner
where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere
under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes
fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time
it takes you to say, ‘Oh SH– ‘

ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning pop rivets in their
holes until you die of old age.

BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor
touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable
motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more
dismal your future becomes.

heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to
transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack

the outside edge.

of everything you forgot to disconnect.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under
lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil
on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip
out Phillips screw heads.

to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and
butchering your palms.

bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts
adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly
well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic

parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in
use.

What is a repressed LP on pink vinyl (or repressed vinyl)?

I know my boyfriend is really into vinyls so I wanted to get one for his collection. I saw his favorite band released a limited edition repressed LP on pink vinyl. Is pink vinyl some kind of novelty? Does “repressed” mean the record is a lower quality than an original, black record? Does it make it more of a collector item?

Please help!

Thanks!
