"Righty-tighty, lefty-loosy" and "the right tool for the right job" were introduced in our team by our mentor in 2000 (great Phil!!), but I guess this last one wasn't very accepted.

Once in 2000 we were trying to remove a lock nut from a screw, and it was the kind of lock nut with rubber, made not to be easily removed. The kids (me included at that time) tried to do that with about 12 or 13 different tools! A guy even brought a soldering iron (trying to melt the rubber). And then Phil came with a screw driver (!) and did it.

I didn't know hammers were so popular in other teams as well! There's nothing that a hammer and some cable ties won't solve.
