    Tags: vice grips

    While clearly not as jaunty as vice-grips, an adjustable wrench is an important and useful tool for many situations. Even just to talk to, sometimes.

    BUT did you know slightly racist names for these guys exist everywhere? Obviously they would: people are salty without borders. 

    I was helping someone out with car problems (because, if I don’t reaffirm my status as “triple-A with double-D’s” occasionally, I may lose my fake certification) and asked for the “Mexican Socket Set” (which I can semi-legitimately say), and was told that in Germany they are called “Englishmen”. 

    THE MORE YOU KNOW.

    (These two are actually named “The Lobster” and “The Challenger”.  If nothing else, we will consider this.)
