Punchlines

Dad’s toolbox

Tools and their common uses explained.

Circular saw: A portable cutting tool used to make boards too short.

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

Wire wheel: Cleans paint off bolts and then suddenly throws them somewhere totally hidden and inaccessible under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about half the time it takes you to say, ‘Oh, man, that hurts.”
