T hat reminds me that i need to go pick up some reverse thread sockets

Also, it’s always funny when you do the labeling...then you hate yourself when you’re unpacking and need to open every box to see what’s in it

Reverse thread sockets are awesome!  I use them for stripped bolt extraction.

When we moved this past spring, my wife was excellent about labeling boxes. She had specific color coded sticky notes for which room she wanted which box to end up in. But towards the end of packing, we started slapping things into boxes as quick as possible and a few ended up not being labeled according to the system. That made for a slight bit of fun upon unpacking.

Try having someone else pack up your home and move it. “Hey, this kitchen box still has some room!” “Take it to the master bedroom , there’s still some stuff to pack in there.”

We learned the hard way the first time. Before the second move, we packed the boxes ourselves and had the movers just load the boxes and furniture.

We used to keep the left handed screwdrivers next to the board stretcher when I was framing houses. Oops cut this one an inch too short, better go grab the board stretcher out of the trailer new guy...

we actually had an intern on one of my construction sites that asked 3-4 people for a left handed screwdriver before someone took pity on him and clued him in... yeah he didn’t get invited back the following summer.

You can tell if a person is going to make it on how well they can deal with getting razzed. And you know their alright when they start giving it right back. Truth be told, the board stretcher one almost had me. The guy I was working with said it so matter of factly. I had to pause for a second and then figured out he was screwing with me.

Sometimes I miss those days.  Simpler times, but we all had a good time.

We only use the Whitworth ones where I work. Best for letting the smoke out of things.
