HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used
as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts not far from
the object we are trying to hit.
I might add it is also used to tenderize the meaty part of your thumb.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] FW: Tools (the rest)
I went online and found the rest:
EIGHT-FOOT LONG 2 X 4: Used for levering a car upward off a hydraulic
jack handle.
TWEEZERS: A tool for removing wood splinters.
E-Z OUT BOLT AND STUD EXTRACTOR: A tool ten times harder than any
known drill bit that snaps off in bolt holes you couldn't use anyway.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the tensile strength of
everything you forgot to disconnect.
1/2" x 16-INCH SCREWDRIVER: A large pry bar that inexplicably has an
accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end opposite the handle.
PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the lids of old-style
paper-and-tin oil cans and splash oil on your shirt; but can also be
used,as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.
AIR COMPRESSOR: A machine that takes energy produced in a coal-
burning power station 200 miles away and transforms it into
compressed air that travels by hose to a pneumatic impact wrench that
grips rusty bolts last over-tightened 50 years ago by someone at Ford
and neatly rounds off their heads.
PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or
bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50" part.
HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays
is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts
not far from the object we are trying to hit.
