Re: Tools Explained

LEATHERMEN MULTI TOOL
Combine pliers with a boxcutter and then attach a flat head and Phillips screwdriver. See the above tools for their description. Additionally, can be used to lengthen waits at the airport and reduce the number of calories consumed by the user (as the user no longer has to walk around looking for the proper tool).

APM (Alternative Persuasion Device)
Big, Orange, Heavy and Cheap. Break first, ask questions later.

RIVETS
Good for attaching one thing to another with a gratifying popping noise. Has the added benefit of turning your robot into a rainstick.

DIET MACHINE
Freshmen + Holesaw (must supply your own safety glasses)

CUTOFF TOOL
Cuts every bolt in the shop too short. Can alternatively be used to entertain the proletariat as it produces copious amounts of sparks.

SANDER
Allows you to breathe in and become one with your workpiece.

ARC WELDER
Turns your beautifully cut pyramid pieces into a burnt scrap of metal. Also burns holes in your new jeans.
