This is my rant on allen wrenches
Auto response from Tekunokurato: I am a mexican
food god!
I am making the most of a most excellent free night
working on my new bike
Tekunokurato: you have no idea how much I loathe allen
wrenches
Tekunokurato: no other tool has ever given me so much
trouble
bizdog27: why?
bizdog27: they rule
bizdog27: so many options
Tekunokurato: they're such an industry conspiracy
Tekunokurato: that's the problem!
Tekunokurato: you need to own too many!
Tekunokurato: what the fuck is wrong with a fucking
phillips, or even a REGULAR OLD SCREWDRIVER
Tekunokurato: arg
Tekunokurato: essentially, the problem is that I don't own
the correct one to work on my bike now
Tekunokurato: see, the tool industry makes as many
different kinds of allen fittings as possible, and makes allen
wrenches small and easy to loose
bizdog27: hmm
Tekunokurato: lose
bizdog27: you clearly need a better tool kit
Tekunokurato: and then charges a premium for them
Tekunokurato: haha
Tekunokurato: that's what they WANT you to think!
Tekunokurato: it could all be done with one or two tools
Tekunokurato: but they've got you and everyone else
convinced that you need thirty!
Tekunokurato: GRRR
Tekunokurato: I bet they deliberately rise and drop the
prices of different screws so people always pick the
cheapest, and that's always different
Tekunokurato: then there are thirty million different
screws that need many different tools to work
Tekunokurato: I mean, what is the POINT of many
different allen wrenches??
Tekunokurato: to line their pockets, that's what!
bizdog27: style
Tekunokurato: ha
Tekunokurato: riiiiiight
Tekunokurato: they suck nick
Tekunokurato: they are a plague on our earth!
food god!
