A adjustable wrench, some call it a Crescent wrench but i call it a adjustable wrench, and a pipe wrench are designed to be used a certain way, in one direction. My helper, insists to put the wrenches on backwards and use them against their design strength.
I must have told him 100 time these past couple months to turn his wrench over and now recently he says that he's to old, he's 52, to change. He today told me that he's left handed so that's why he always puts the tool on backwards, upside down, the wrong way.
I say i'm paying his check, a good wage, those are my tools, anybody that knows anything about using tools can see he's doing it wrong, and i want them to be used the way that they are intended to be used.
We seem to have a standoff. Decent help is hard to find. Do i need to chill?
