Like most men, I love my tools. Like most men, I started with the hammer. I even had a toy hammer when I was a child. I don’t like hammering that much. I killed my finger when I hit it one time. What I enjoy is retrieving nails. I would drive nails in the wood and retrieve it again using the claw hammer.

During high school I had a wood working class. Our project for the semester is to make a small chair. I had no problems sawing the pieces but I had problems nailing nails straight. It didn’t bother me much because I love to use the claw hammer coil to retrieve nails. Some pieces I had to re-cut because I destroyed that piece from nailing and retrieving.
