Originally posted by monochrome I get the keepsake part of your father's tools - that's why I passed along my grandfather's. The girls didn't seem interested.
More than keepsakes for me, actually. With no brothers, I was the one who often got called to help with some repair or installation or other (much to my mother's chagrin
). So I am probably handier with some tools than many women are. No pretensions about being a mechanic (as my dad was, and as Mr. Orchid is, too), of course, but I do know the diff between an Allen wrench and a box wrench, and what the little switch is for on the ratchet...
But that won't save Tokyo, alas. Still doomed...
