The Tool You Hate Most
Mine is the bloody snow shovel. Just looking at the thing brings up my blood pressure. I hate getting up early and busting my guts just so I can get to work on time and continue to bust my guts. I especially 'love' it when the snow plow roars past and piles up that much snow in my drive it would make Edmund Hillary brown his trousers.
Ok, now what's yours?? Maybe I am just venting after spending the best part of the morning digging my truck out of an arctic snow drift. |

Re: The Tool You Hate Most
I have an old table saw, where the screw for the height adjustment comes out of the housing. after about 15 adjustments I have to turn the thing over and and re-thread the knob.
I just use it for home projects one of these days I'll drop the dime and get a good one |

Re: The Tool You Hate Most
Tin snips (Wiss), they always break, Craftsman used to sell them with the warranty and then stopped (probably cost a fortune). Dikes, same reason, I've got a pile with the tips broke laying around.

Re: The Tool You Hate Most
my ancient key chucked first generation makita corded under driven half inch drill. The bits spin in the chuck no matter how tight you turn the chuck key. its under driven which means it coasts to a stop well after releasing the trigger with all the torque of a cat diesel. When an auger bit gets stuck it crushes my hand against immovable objects on many occasions and wrapped the cord around itself and my wrist sticking the trigger. I think the japs designed it this way on purpose and were laughing their asses off in their engineering labs just waiting for round eyes to get all beat up by their power tools.

Re: The Tool You Hate Most
For me it is a faucet wrench. That means I'm laying down under a sink in a tiny little opening. That is very hard for me to do, seeing as I am 6'4.
