Title: Right tool for the job.

Right tool, wrong operator. Julio had to check himself with his normal, "Let's just get him out of my hair," solutions. I can only imagine if I know a pilot like chuck when I get my A&P.

I have an A&P, and yes there are pilots just like Chuck. He's not invented! ;)

Indeed, it's usually very important to have the correct tool for the job, otherwise it's even easier to damage parts. Sadly, the aircraft I'm working on has a lot of different size-types in it, making finding the correct tool very interesting. You usually need 2 or 3 tries to just find out whether you're dealing with either a metric, imperial, British Association, or some other type of bolt... :S At that point, the bahco (or adjustable spanner, as you probably call it) suddenly becomes a very attractive (but still very wrong) solution...

Different industry but similar (if not even harder) scrutiny for safety...
When ever the controllroom staff would see me walking out into the station carrying tools they always packed up and left (in a poorly dissguised hurry), or if they met me would turn on their heels and run away...
Happened more than once too, they must have confused me with somebody else. ::whistle::
Never caused an incident though, on the contrary!

Shoot! All I've ever needed was WD-40 or Duct Tape. That's the sum total of a Redneck's Toolbox! Hehe. ::drinking:: ::drinking:: ::drinking::

Add tinfoil if you need to work with electronics!
