Tools

He was standing at his workbench, not sure how the thing could be fixed.

Maybe it can’t be fixed, he thought; I just don’t have the tools that I need to make a proper job of it. He really needed a set of adjustable clamps to reposition the parts. Then, by tightening each one individually and carefully, it could be returned to its original shape. Using a special super bond glue that is made for assembling metal parts, would mean that he could do an even better job. The trouble with that idea was that he didn’t have either the clamps or the glue. He looked around at the tools that hung on his tool boards with a sigh. Some of them began to rattle. He was startled when they began speaking.

“Use me,” said the hammer.

“No, use me,” said the screwdriver.

“Better to use me,” said the spanner.

Getting over the shock of having his tools speak to him, he said, “Sorry guys, there’s no way I can repair this without the things I need.”

The hammer said, “You could use me to knock the thing back into place. That would form a friction fit.”

“Better still, use me,” said the screwdriver, “you would only need to use a couple of screws to make the parts really tight, that would hold it together.

“For the very best results,” said the spanner, “you only need a nut and a bolt, then use me to make them extra tight. Do this and it will never move again.”

He stood back and looked at each of them in turn. “I’m sorry guys,” he said.

Picking it up, he turned and walked out of the shed.

They meant well, but there are times when just a few basic tools are simply not enough, he thought, as he dropped it in the metals bin.

  3. Its such as you read my mind! You appear to grasp so much approximately this, such as you wrote the guide in it or something. I feel that you simply could do with some p.c. to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, that is fantastic blog. An excellent read. I will certainly be back.

  4. Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  5. I’ve been browsing online more than three hours as of late, but I never found any interesting article like yours. It is lovely worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the net will be much more helpful than ever before.
