Use the right tool!

On occasion I don't always have the right tool for the job and the simplest task becomes a complete project which in turn leads me to have a complete meltdown.

Not today dammit!!!

Needed to remove a junk battery from the car.Open the hood looked and knew that if I attempted to remove it with just the 12mm wrench in my hand that I would end up with bloody knuckles,a battery still in the car and me having a meltdown.

Before I even made an attempt I stopped and went to the store for the proper tool.Of course I ended up with a complete new set of SAE and Metric sockets,a new ratchet and a set of 4 extensions.

To make a long story a little shorter it took me 2 seconds instead of 2 hours(and a meltdown) to remove the battery.

So this is an "anti-grump".

The moral of this story:

USE THE RIGHT TOOL!!!
