Like every Friday, here's ready to take advantage of the good @galenkp's suggestions for the weekend post!
I wonder how after almost three years he always finds different and interesting themes... this man has a really great mind and I love him!
For today's assignment I chose to talk about one of my tools, my favorite.
The title is a bit of a quote, I don't know if you've ever seen The Master of The Universe, it's the phrase Adam uses to transform into He-Man
If you're wondering, yes, I recently watched the He-Man cartoon heh heh!
As you may have guessed from the image I put on the cover, it's actually a tool that contains them... my toolbox!
Going back to the title, I imagined myself as a weak and defenseless man who has to fix something, takes his toolbox, pronounces the fateful sentence and transforms himself into a barbarian strongman ready to do some DIY!
My imagination is wild and galloping.
You must know that I am very attached to this object also and above all from an emotional point of view; it is a gift that my father-in-law gave me just after giving us our beloved home.
Not that he meant all the housework I had to do myself because the money ran out, it was more like a handover, now I was the man of the house for my family and I had to have my own toolbox and provide for our needs!
As you can see from the image below it's nothing special or too big but it can hold everything you need and I love it!
It has many spaces in which to contain everything in an orderly manner; you can see that right above its lid are these two small containers to put screws, dowels and nails; the closure of both is really hermetic and they never open even after jolts, in this way you don't lose your nails carrying around the box eh eh!
Once opened it can be divided into two parts, I can easily carry around only one, usually the upper one, or I can simply fill it and, keeping it empty, use the other as a container; in reality I have a full box because I keep some things in the lower part that are used less but which is always good to have on hand when doing small jobs.
Last gem, the upper shelf contains a further closure, a lid in the lid that can be removed and acts as a tray; I use it for example to place screws, bolts and similar objects on it so as not to lose them once they have been unscrewed; I think it's very useful and convenient as an object to have in a toolbox, then maybe it has a different use, I don't know, it's convenient for me that way.
In the images you will see that the box is a bit empty because yesterday my Father was doing a little job here in our house and I gave him some tools; I wanted to bring him the whole box but he has his own and preferred to give him only the tools he needed specifically a hacksaw, hammer and meter.
I still have to get them back because he left them on the table in the courtyard, but these days if it doesn't rain I'll have to do some things in the garden so I'll take the box directly downstairs and he'll meet with his little friends heh heh!
Well this is my favorite tool; I have lots of them, drills, jigsaws, planers, lawn mowers and so on and so forth, however, as you will have understood, I am a person who loves simple and maybe even practical things.
Now I greet you, thank you as always for having reached this point; before we leave tell me, Do you have a favorite tool?
Why is your favorite?
Let me know in the comments below, of course if you like, I would be very happy to know more about you.
Hug you!
