Hammer Drills and other Tools

Power tools are big. And powerful. The one that scares me the most is a hand saw. Not being a naturally graceful person, the price of clumsiness seems especially high when I am at risk of losing a limb.

One of the cool things about my job is working with guys who are willing to be patient and teach me how to actually do things. Real things. Like starting with wire and stuff and end up with a working product. Amazing! And Friday's lesson was using a hammer drill.

Q: What do you use a hammer drill for?

A: Make holes in concrete!

I had a good time. Maybe next time the aluminum will be a little nicer to me and the self-tapping screw will go where it belongs.
