I live in an apartment. I was at a yard sale and saw an old pipe wrench. About a meter long and weighing about 5 kilos. Testosterone told me that I needed to own this. Brought it home and left it in the closet for years.

Last week the kitchen sink was stopped up. Took me about twenty minutes to locate the monster, but I knew I had kept it. Another five minutes to set it to the right size and position it. A half turn loosened the bolt on the U pipe. I was able to snake out the drain without calling the super.

Now I can boast about my mighty feat on the interwebs!

I saw a pair of $40 scissors at the hardware store the other day. These things were like almost the size of my forearm. I have no idea what I’d use them for. I may pick them up next time I go.

Someone else posted a similar story.

They do landscaping and whenever kids walk by the youngsters look in awe at the huge shears they use to trim plants.

The poster said they’d think “That’s right kids! I get paid to use giant scissors.”
