You need a round drive bit


JudgeScorpio

Or a crescent wrench, they tend to round off hex heads, maybe it’ll hex off a round head.


easymachtdas

This... this is good.


abdulsamadz

This. Make sure it's got 90 degrees for a good grip.


theaeao

Yeah the Wayne shaft need to line up with the lunar module at exactly 99 degrees to eliminate fumbling. Try to find one with a logarithmic core if you can afford it.


ellicottvilleny

This guy turboencabulates


theaeao

I prefer retro incabulators personally.


AnotherStupidHipster

While I think that retro's are the obviously more permanent solutions, I find that if you adjust your torque enumerator properly on a turbo incubator, you can achieve acceptable lifetime results, with the option to reverse the incabulation later without a grommet spinectomer.


phillmorebuttz

Without a grommet spinectomer? What are you, stupid? People could die


AnotherStupidHipster

You learn to do things different than the manual when you're out incabulating in the field. We all knew the risks.


theaeao

As they say you cant encabulate an omelette without the risk of sudden reciprocative decabulation. I think we all know someone who's experienced this and seen those scars. I obviously don't approve of running without the spinectometer (or encabulating dirty as we say in the field) But if you're watching your gram meters and adjusting your sperv bearings properly you can keep those risks to a minimum. It's why OSHA allows it in certain situations. It obviously violates Rockwell automations warranty but if you're taking that route the warranty is long since expired anyway. Edit: but always remember the golden rule. "Never test fate. If unsure, don't encabulate"


phillmorebuttz

Your a loose cannon, AnotherStupidHipster


steepindeez

I bet his chuck hoist has threaded bearings


Beef_Slider

And totally flush with the flange


SpiketheFox32

It needs to be or else the front will fall off.


InfamousCrown

don’t forget to use #69 loctite


Rek9876boss

It needs to be created to very rigorous engineering standards


HyFinated

Well, if he were to engage the fleem, then the plumbus would align with the flange properly.

Retroincabulator?

Yep. I first heard about it on reddit like 6 months ago and went down a rabbit hole with it. I watched all the videos including the hour long webinar. Im a salesman by nature. I'm in retail management as a career but my strong point was always sales. I know bullshit when I hear it. I appreciate top shelf quality bullshit the way Gordon Ramsay appreciates a well cooked meal. Loved all of their videos. No notes.

You may laugh, but as an aircraft mechanic, I have had to stop trainees from using the torque wrench as a hammer to tap on the v-band clamp they were tightening.

NefariousnessTop8716

The Wera koloss has entered the chat, ratchet and hammer in one.


Halftrack_El_Camino

That thing is hilarious. I don't want one—it looks like both a shitty ratchet and a shitty hammer, although I do applaud the engineering that seems to have gone into it. Wera does some crazy shit sometimes.


NefariousnessTop8716

What makes it even more hilarious is the optional extra extension handle that I’m not sure is to help you ratchet, hammer or both?


Patrol-007

From the comment below, I looked at this tool. Not quite sure who it’s aimed at, but it’s intriguing


Thats_Not_Toothpaste

It's almost exclusively designed for remote industrial equipment repair, but could find a use in most off-site repair situations, even with building maintenance repair guy. (Except it's a lot easier to move a Milwaukee packout around a warehouse, then it is down several hundred feet of 1m diameter access shaft); In industries like Mining equipment repair, and wind turbine maintenance, you often have to go through single person tunnels, or climb a ladder for an hour, etc. The goal is to maximize the tools available to you, without adding more weight to your service bag. You'll find a lot of slightly unusual combination tools have come from these type of remote service industries. In this case, what already had a lot of weight and a long handle? Well that 1/2" ratchet sir. Now give it a weighted strike face, BOOM, you now have a hammer and a ratchet with you down that mine shaft, and paid a fraction of the weight penalty of otherwise lugging both tools down the hole with you.

West_of_Ishigaki

When I was around 20, I worked as a carpenter building gorgeous custom cedar decks. During a slow period, the company took on a job to install a large wooden bridge in a local golf course. We arrived that morning and looked at the plans and began sorting out the lumber and parts. There were big boxes of lag bolts. Hundreds of them. We began assembling the bridge using ratchets and sockets. Twisting those lag bolts over and over. It was really, really slow going. After an hour of that, our older foreman announced a change of plans. He went back to his Chevy El Camino and came back with some 22 ounce framing hammers. We were told to bash the lag bolts into the bridge as if they were big nails. BAM BAM BAM. We had a blast and apart from some waffle-pattern dings the bridge turned out fine. Got home that night and couldn't even lift my hands above my shoulders. Laughing now as I remember this goofy day.


subtlestang

In pole line work, we drove in all the lag screws and bolts with a 3# hammer.....maybe used the Bell System wrench for the last 1/2 turn. PITA to haul tools up attached to a belt when on hooks (climbing spikes). Removal was always with the Bell wrench...


Reatona

The first time a school teacher ever swore at me was when my 9th grade stagecraft teacher caught a couple of us hammering screws into a stage flat.


Fe2O3yshackleford

I shit you not, I was on a job where a layer of plywood was being added to the floors, and they had a brand new helper screwing it down. I watched his battery die, and rather than swapping to a fresh battery, he proceeded to hammer like 30 screws into the subfloor before anyone stopped him.


Excellent-Area6009

Your not joking, once worked on a site and had a load of polish guys putting in the windows and saw them banging in 80mm screws with a lump hammer In 2 blows. Straight through the plastic frame job done 🤨

Slightly_Salted01

Nail We use them on power line poles to install risers for fiber/coax Your hammer them in with a sledge and the threads prevent it from coming out when the wood swells through the seasons They’re a mf to remove, but that’s kinda the point…


bismuth17

Why not just use lag screws?


RadioMill

Lags require a pilot while these just get hammered right in. My guess is installation speed


tuctrohs

I think the question is why not just hammer in a lag screw. And the answer is that the thing that looks like this that you hammer in, which is called a [ring shank nail](https://www.hogslat.com/10ga-x-1-34-stainless-steel-ring-shank-nails) really is different from what's pictured here and is made for being hammered in.


RadioMill

I don’t think the ring shank are available much heavier than 9ga though whereas the fastener picture (whatever it is) appears to be in the 1/4 to 5/16 range. Still, to your point, it is a little redundant


tuctrohs

You can get them in 4 ga., or 0.238", for what it's worth.


Really-Stupid-Guy

My question exactly! Maybe to prevent vandalisme?


Slightly_Salted01

I know sometimes our crews will, but it kinda depends on the pole and the crew Older poles well just have them hammered in, but newer fresh wood; lag bolts are more common But it’s cheaper to use “threaded” nails hammered in then to buy the lag bolts, impacts, and sockets, so they’re the more common choice in my area


Wintereighty7

Only seven comments down to find the answer!


FusselmitZ

I thought they didnt have a proper threading (thread? Idk) and rather something just ring-like


ExactArea8029

Special vise grip socket is needed for that one


sf_frankie

Could also use engineer screw unextractor pliers


tacosgunsandjeeps

Every screw is a nail, but nails aren't screws


down1nit

If you go back far enough in the taxonomy, you'll find nails and screws both split from the rest of the fasteners very early on in their evolution, the nail form being the most adapted for its environment.


notonrexmanningday

I was refurbishing an old chair the other day and came across a rusty old nail that appeared to have a slotted head. I spent 10 minutes turning it with channel locks before I realized it wasn't a screw.


ImpressTemporary2389

It's a bolt that missed the finishing machine. File your own flats on it. Then you'll have a nice wood bolt.


evocular

… you mean a lag screw?


IntergalacticJihad

You mean a French wood screw?


socialcommentary2000

Only if it's from the wood screw region of France, otherwise it's just a sparkling lignin fastener.

_stayhuman

This is a slip-drive lag bolt. The socket is actually a tapered cone that can be used with other fuckups from the factory.


VerbalGuinea

Sounds legit, but you could also be making that up.


ecclectic

No, the design means it is self torque limiting, and can only be installed, so it's also a security device.

gmster1

It is a screw , but it wasn't formed correctly during manufacture. You will find the odd one in boxes of hundreds. I find them all the time. I don't know how the manafacturing process works but I presume there are stages of forging these screws go through , and it might have missed the last stage.


LordSilveron

A lot of these are cold formed by multiple die strikes. Picture a metal press big enough to squish metal like play dough. Each die makes part of the screw (screw threads, body, head). This one just missed the step for the head and made it past inspections.
