how to gently break rock?

[c_scherer123]

My mom refused to let me "torture" a screwdriver or the hacksaw - so I used a hammer and a big nail.
I found 4-5 peanut worms, I thought I only had one in there... Numerous fanworms, some didn't survive the "breakup". I concentrated on the area with the most slime trails and finally found the worm in a tiny corner. It is about an inch long, I was positive it was bigger... Hopefully it was the only worm but I have my doubts...

They like soda that much?

Torture a screwdriver HAHA, thats hellarious. Me, being a Electrician, don't think I own a screwdrver that I havn't beat on. Usually using my pliers as the directional impact device

My stepdad uses delicate screwdrivers to fix computers, but still refuses to let me use the bigger/sturdier ones.
My Mom claims if screwdrivers were meant to to be hammered into a rock, they would have promoted that use in some commercial or another. (come to think of it, I don't think I have ever seen a screwdriver commercial...)

You should have heard her the day my guppy bit her, I thought my fish keeping days were over...

LOL, No offence, But you should take mom out to a construction site LOL

Every tool has more than one use

This is why I have my good tools, and my beat up tools. Every tool ends up in the beat up pile eventually, and the good tools get refreshed when necessary.

No need to go farther than the kitchen, I never knew kitchen utensils had so many uses... I left the room when she tried to open a can with a butchering knife (we do own 3 working can openers!).

I saw "Madico" take a tile saw and zip a rock. He then took a screwdriver and it split easily
