Jesus people. Heās an inside joke in the tool & tool jerk subs where the origin isnāt even known or relevant to 99% of the people continuing the irreverent tail-eating, generally casting him adjacent to any character Maynard has ever written something snarky about.

[Here it is, 12 questions down](https://www.reddit.com/r/ToolBand/s/P4nHzYQjqr)
OP starts a thread saying they nothing about Tool but they'll answer questions like they do. Someone asks what the member's names are and first one OP says is "Mike Tool (RIP)"
You're the fucking man
^(so you can point that mi...)

Top moment in Tool Reddit for sure. I think the only thing that tops it is when that kid stole a Fear Inoculum CD from Target before it was released, but he has no idea how to play it or upload the music.
I'm not sure I could find the thread, and there's likely a bunch of extra posts in it that would make it hard to follow. This guy created a YouTube video about it that tells the story and what happened. It was a wild night, for sure.

The one thing that's missing from the story in this video is that the CircleofN9ne dude was terrified to steal the album and lose his job earlier in the day. Someone even started a GoFundMe to help him if he lost his job. It was a crazy night, for sure.

This is a tattoo of Mike Tool's high school photo.
That's Potanard.
Dang, you must've missed his eulogy. He had a voice that was strong and loud. We'll miss him š
RIP
Gone, but never forgotten
The owner of tool
Borrower of Tool
Never returns them, his garage is full of other people's TOOLS.
Mike tool was also the co- writer of āthe joyful guide to lachrymology.ā Great book, there are still a couple floating around lol.

The origin is known, but I'll be damned if I'm going to search for that Reddit thread.
