Names of Tools
 

Sometimes in the pits we yell out for tools we need. Some of these tools have their own name.

So far we have:
Stanley = Dead blow hammer:D
Alfonso = Big pop rivet gun:confused:
and Bill = Small pop rivet gun:eek:

I was sondering what some of the other teams call their tools and what they actually are.

Not really tools, but this year we found several heavy chunks of metal in our room. The largest of these chunks had a printed label on it, naming it "The Negotiator."

The hacksaw is named Sal, the wire stripper is called Shanaynay and the crimper is named Sheniqua. Sheniqua is the older sister of Shanaynay. Also...our angle grinder is named Big Red(it's big and it's red...and dangerous). Friedchickenisha is the jigsaw and our mini hacksaw it's called Ralph.

449 has a long history naming laptops/printers/most non-robot electronics. We have a laptop named Leo, Elephantine, Asus of Spades, etc. We also have a printer named George, and a vacuum named Louis.

We also have a ball-peen hammer named 'Big Pappy' and a lockjaw plier named 'Da boom boom'

Don't know where it started, but calling the tools by the names we give them is more fun than saying, bring us laptop #2.

Hey, don't forget that all of our boxcutters are Stanleys. Also, I don't think you were around for the best Laptop name - alas, poor Yorick! :P

Of course, there was also that bizarre tool which no one could identify which saw much (improvised) use in fixing the 2008 AndyMark mecanum wheels (anyone here remember those? Oh boy...), which eventually became known only as "the fix-y thingy."

Funny our team calls our hammer "The Gentle Persuader". I have no idea why though. ::ouch::
