Abused many tools over the years

Cutting the corner of a small screwdriver so that it fits a really small
torks screw(didn't work so well)
using a cordless drill as a starter motor for a strimmer that was having
trouble starting (worked well)
Spanners used as hammers(much success)
cordless drill to hammer in a wall plugs (works but wouldn't recommend it)

used alot of stuff in the place of tools

bulldog clip as a screwdriver for computer case (worked but took ages)
Bit of metal from back of computer case as screwdriver(slightly better
than
buldog clip)
Paperclip for screwdriver on computer case(useless)
Car keys for screwdriver on PC (somtimes worked)
Car keys to open boxes (works good)

Women whose husbands take the garage/workship keys with them everywhere have
to do the above - and others - all the time. We don't regard it as abuse but
as invention. Necessity demands it.
