Which is more stupid? (Stupider) An Electric adjustable wrench?  Or Electric Scissors?  How many of you guys got these for Christmas? my family knows better than to buy me Black and Decker (Edit: I wasn't clear, I did not get these for christmas,) If you know of a more stupid tool, say it or post a pic. |

I love tools too, but Black and Decker is the Lorcin of power tools! (In my expierence) Even if Dewalt made electric adjustable wrenches I would still have no use for them. |

| Electric scissors are the shizzle for people who actually sew. My mom used to do it a lot. She had a small pair of GE electric shears from the late '50s that were great for cutting cloth, even several layers at once, and it would be hard to injure yourself with it. Much faster than manual shears. |
Well we know what you were thinking when you read the title, J/K of course |

I am not saying that these things are useless, I am jsut saying that in your typical garage your tools are a large part of your reputation. In reality a good tech with Craftsman tools will get the job done much better and faster than an idiot with the biggest box Snap-on makes filled with every possible tool. All the same that wrench would bring large amounts of ridicule and derision in most shops. |
