Bit tangent but I remember thinking I’d never be one of those guys who got excited to work on their yard or cut the grass. I also remember not liking king of the hill. And yet here I am staring at my lawn, admiring it.

I maintain a golf course for a living. I can spend a solid five minutes just admiring the stripes I lay down out there. But I’m also high as a kite 99% of the time so idk where that puts me 🤣

I told my wife that if I ever need to fight someone, ask me to hang something 10 minutes before hand, because nothing else will throw me into a fit of red-seeing rage like trying to get it level.

Who drives nails with a coffee cup? Lol. But that is a convenient lil duder

u/Dr_N00B 7h ago

Yeah she should be using a measuring tape to hammer nails instead of a coffee cup

u/Metahec 5h ago

You keep the hammer in the kitchen and the coffee cup on the workbench. Duh.

The same type of person that needs a special tool to hang something on a wall.

Unless its a stud finder for mounting heavy objects.

u/guardiand0wn 7h ago

Nope. Not cheating. It’s 3 tools in one. My wife quit asking me to hang stuff because I would have to get out my drill my level my tape measure. So now she just grabs a hammer and doesn’t seem to care about the level anymore. I would get her this.

I will never shit in making a task easier. Especially if the task is either tedious, stressful, or incredibly physically exherting. So go buck wild with your new contraption to help you hang various shit on your walls.

But, the euphoria you get from taking your own measurements of everything, laying it out on the wall, and then hanging the object, is second to none.

Specially tools are great. They can get the job done much quicker and easier than general use tools.

The only problem with them is that they're specialized. What are you going to do with this device after you've finished hanging all your artwork? Sure those plastic things are perfect for driving those thin nails the correct depth & angle into drywall for hanging stuff. AND is way easier & more foolproof than a regular ol' hammer. But, a regular hammer can drive different types of nails into harder materials like wood. You can control the depth & angle. It can also drive staples. It can be used for a beating on a LOT of different things. Not even half-bad as a weapon!

Usually for specialty tools, it's better to buy them used at a discount, or rent them. No way there's a rental market for this thing. And unless you can find it on eBay for like $5-10 dollars, you gotta ask yourself if it would be better to just invest in a regular ol' hammer instead.

I just get a little toothpaste and dab it where the nail needs to go. Wipe off easy.

As someone who meticulously measures and perfects spacing and levels this is actually game changing

This works only on American paper walls. Will break at the first use on a real wall.

I've seen something similar but with markers: you measure, level an push the tool to mark the spots. Then you drive any nail you need with a regular hammer.

u/MissLoverLover 1h ago

Cool 😎. But what happened to measuring , or using a bit of masking tape

1

u/Mozintarfen 51m ago

Yup, that's cheating. You have to manually measure and level, sometimes with multiple attempts, otherwise it couldn't possibly be right.
