If all you have a hammer, then everything looks like a nail. But if all you have is a screwdriver or a wrench, this doesn't necessarily mean that everything looks like a screw or a bolt, because either of those items can be used as an improvised hammer. Also if you have two wrenches you can break a padlock without needing boltcutters. I'm not actually sure what the moral here is

every putty knife i've known has been a flimsy thing with no weight in it
you must have one hell of a beast of a putty knife
@benroyce My dad loves picking up cheap flea market tools, and he’s given me a couple of those putty knives that have a tiny hammer on the handle end. They also have a flip-out Phillips bit, so you can effectively deal with any drywall nail/screw pops. I’m not sure I’d want to drive in a real nail with that tool though!

Yes, yes, very true, but consider this: if you have a hammer and a stopwatch, you have an altimeter.If you have a hammer and a long rope (and patience), you can measure the planet's rotation and your latitude.
If you have a hammer and a field, you have a track-and-field sport.
If you have a hammer and a stack of paper, you can turn on a fan with impunity.
If you... wait, what were you saying about padlocks?

@mcc this does in fact apply to screwdriver. screwdriver can be poker, lever, chisel, nailset, scraper, etc. when you have X, screwdriver looks like solution
@SarraceniaWilds @mcc I have a special screwdriver that's a dedicated destruction tool...

@mcc If all you have is a screwdriver, you add screws to all your products and rename your product to screwed 365 or so.

@mcc Berkeley has a formalized tool library. I kinda miss it, but the informal one of friends and neighbors here has more useful stuff if I’m honest.
Was chatting with an architect friend about creating a library of spare light fixtures the other day.

@mcc the moral is there are a lot of ways to smash billionaires' domes in like on Postal 2
For legal reasons this is a joke -
