T is for Tool bag
Is it missing from your tool bag? That sure is a drag! Wrenches, hammers, nails, and screws. Where's your list of "honey-dos"?
They're usually quite heavy. I broke my arm about two-three years ago and had a hard time dealing with the weight. I took an airline stewardess bag, on wheels with a retractable handle, and made my own tool bag. Works just fine for me.
I think that's a smart attitude. I mean, you think nothing can happen but we know stuff does. A friend of mine was drilling when a mouse ran across his shop table. Surprise, and he dropped the drill, still running. He didn't get hurt but you never know.
My hubby always laughs at my honey-do list, but he is actually pretty good of anticipating what needs to be done. Your little poems continue to delight, Dixie.
I see there's a challenge on the challenge blog site... I'll check it out. Sow him my "S" day for shop bench - there's a simple layout for construction, if he likes to build stuff!
It's annoying when my tools wander off. I wish I had a tool bag like that...and someone else to fix stuff would be nice too! Thanks for stopping by the Untethered Realms blog today! River Fairchild – A to Z April Challenge Untethered Realms
I'm enjoying your poems. So glad I found your blog! New follower here. I'm stopping by from the "A to Z" challenge, and I look forward to visiting again!
My main hammer is in my rolling tool bag, but I keep an extra in the broom closet, hanging with the broom and mop. No one wants to sweep or mop, so they never find the hammer. LOL
That is about the size of my hubby's tool bag!

DeleteI enjoy using power tools, but I'm scared of them at the same time :P

DeleteYeah there's such potential for accidents :P
Delete...and mice!!
Deletescrews and honey dos, such lovely words....
ReplyDeleteOh Dezzy!!! ha ha ha!
DeleteIt's nice to have a handyman around, though an exterminator can also save the day! I'm totally useless with tools.
ReplyDeleteJulie
Exterminator - I have a fly swatter that takes out the occasional spider. I love tools and I'm very good at reading all instructions. (smile).
DeleteI can never find the tools I need when I need them. maybe I should have a tool bag….
ReplyDeleteI use an airline steward's bag. It's on wheel, has multi-pockets... long handle... Love it!
DeleteA most important part of equipment Dixie. Well done.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Thank you, Yvonne. I'm sure you've been dealing with hanging frames and things since your move!
DeleteThose honey dos better come afterwards with thankful screws.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!
DeleteOoh, Pat - 'cat scratch fever'.
DeleteI agree, Linda!!! Hahahaha!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda Kay - your hubby comments tickle me (smile).

Well, my my, do tell, Miss Linda!!
DeleteThat is some tool bag...
ReplyDeleteMakes you want to see the strong arms that lug that around... maybe?
DeleteThat is one big toolbag. I think I'd need a honey before I give him a honey-to-do list. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh no, Cherie. Sending you high hopes!!
DeleteThis is one to totally share with my husband. He always has a long honey-do list and sure does love his tools.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the A to Z Challenge!

Hi River. I'm trying not to miss any Untethered Realms - you guys are going great!!
DeleteFor a tool bag, I use an airline stewardess bag on wheels. Has lots of pockets. It's easy on my arm and shoulder.
O.o I never thought of a rolling bag! Thanks for the tip! :D
