Hmmmm, if liquid feet tastes anything like Sam Adams I'll have to pick up a 6 pack for the game tomorrow. I wonder if lee's discount liquor carries it.....

Unfortunately you must have had the wrong beer and it turned you off for good. My sympathies.

Every shop has one. I have an aged Church Key that opens anything from cold beer to paint cans.

To the poor guy that thinks beer taste like liquid feet Its ok not for everyone.

I have a shop rule Beer is only allowed on days that end in "Y"

Think about it

I did that back in the early '80s. Full Serve gas attendant at the corner Shell station. Even got the baggy brown jump suit uniform supplied for free. I remember when gas jumped up to $1.25 a gallon - I was shocked and appalled! My Vette got 8 mpg, so that was a big drain on my gas station salary!

Seriously, here is the most important tool - my 50-60 year old Snap On breaker bar - from back in the day when good tools were still made here at home. This tool and a few sockets are what dissasembled my suspension, steering and brake system on my '73 Vert as well as the work I did on my '74 BB back in the '80's. Handed down three generations…

Didn't need an impact wrench or compressor - the breaker bar did the job.

My keychain beer opener is definitely my most used tool, it does not get as much use since my body decided that it is allergic to good micro brew so now I stick to the mass produced stuff.

The cinder block wall is my most used tool, I bang my head against it when I get frustrated.
