Two things bother me; first is seeing home improvement hosts who misuse tools like adjustable wrenches and slip joint pliers since viewers are thinking these guys know their stuff. Second is sanding with abrasives which are clogged with wood dust, I would imagine virtually all forum users know better, clogged sanding abrasives are not doing a good job they were intended for. We all have those sanding cleaner rubber erasers and use them regularly, and when possible reverse the abrasive so the unused sharp grit can be used. So I'm confident you are one of those users. So if you seeing a tool being misused like screwdrivers for chisels or using 12 point sockets instead of cam-loc sockets for tough fasteners the one's that grab the flats not shoulders you should pass-on some wisdom. Finally cheap abrasives are just that, now if you're sanding balsa wood or foam they'll pass if you can keep the cheap press-on adhesive from unsticking when things get hot. Thank You for knowing better, because kids aren't learning like we did from Dad, so I can imagine the day when a good plumber will be worth their weight in gold since nothing else matters when sweetie can't flush the toliet, Lu, head, john, porcelain throne etc. Older than Water Ed
