I've noticed all sorts of gaps in the garage doors and frames. The local wildlife will be just marching in unimpeded unless things tighten up a bit!
Yup.
Have an old WW2 trenching tool - quirky piece of kit that just appealed to me when I spotted it in an fashioned ironmongers. Anyway, the handle which just knocks through like on a mattock or pickaxe (which is pretty much what it is) has come loose over the last couple of weeks.

A couple.
So they all got chucked in a pot of oil for a day.
All good now.

.. and rings will be popping off Japanese chisels all over the land - unlessof course, people have taken the trouble to seat them properly, which many don't bother to do.

Yes 2 hammers head came off , replaced and soaking in oil too
27? and your tools are falling apart? This modern stuff... huh.
I have a half dozen assorted size and shape hammers that my dad owned. they are a minimum of 60 and maybe as much as a 100 years old.
My workshop is now at 38c, and they are all fine (In fact they are coping better than me!).

I think ive only bought 2 hammers in my life. Yet i seem to own 15-20 of the damn things from warringtons to panel, ball pien to sledge. I swear they get up to no good at night, but i have no idea how you *** a hammer.

Iroko loco!
You may notice some if they're all in the same workshop, synchronisation may occur,
especially close together, or in bundles.
Synchronisation can be tested by the amount of rebound on the hammer.
If you were ever a smiths workshop, you may have noticed that the blacksmith always dings twice,
as they're very careful to make sure they have the right hammer for the job.
Choosing the wrong one could be fatal as some may have noticed here, especially in the hot weather.
Treat them well with respect, or they may fly off the handle!
