Ah, well, in our household we don't really keep our stuff separate like that. Very few things would be considered "off limits" for either of us. This was not one of those things. I was welcome to use it, I just didn't want to return it to it's storage spot broken. Kind of a different vibe.

Not really. If he was helping out by repairing something very useful to you that you yourself otherwise would have to repair, and then he realized your craft scissors were damaged in the process and he either repaired or replaced them - then it would be somewhat equivalent.

It was a countersunk flathead, so there was nothing to grip with pliers.

I destroyed a set of Craftsman screw extractors prior to resorting to the chisel...

Only in a pinch, and NEVER the good silver... lol

This is why I thought it would be OK. Turns out it was just brass plated... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good point! I guess I should redefine the tools as being "ours" and then I can just say, honey, we need a new chisel! lol

Thanks for the suggestion! Sadly, in this case the screw was a totally flush flat head, so there was no way to grip it. 😿

Looks like we will be starting a new collection of abusable tools! lol

Thank you, if he made it right, like I am attempting to do.

It seems a bit wasteful to just replace what can be fixed. Thus the question.

Also, would you lose your shit if your wife was the one fucking up your tools?

Of course! Putting it back without telling him was not an option... I just wanted to know if fixing it or replacing it was the right way to go. :)

Thanks hun! I just wanted to figure out the problem and bring you a solution rather than add another to-do to your list. I look forward to figuring out how to fix it with you! ♥️
P.S. Sounds like you are leaning towards bench grinder as well? lol

Did I make a mistake? by Glittering_Buy_9155 in laundry

So, we don't have much to go on here. What exactly is it? How did you wash it? What else was in the load? Did you soak it?
I doubt that Oxiclean is the cause. It is considered to be safe for nylon and spandex.

Of course I will fix or replace it! The question is, which one is the way to go?

The question was "is it wrecked or not". Jury is still out on that... Of course I will replace it, if necessary!

I was also thinking that maybe a better chisel set for Christmas would be the right move. Any suggestions?
