If the tool 1) Accompliahes the task and 2) doesn’t fuck up what you’re using it on, it’s the right tool.

I draw inspiration from my boss, who is way more resourceful than he gives himself credit for. If our project manager comes out and says we need to figure out how to degoombulate a whatsit, he will (after ten minutes of bitching) go into his junk drawer of rods, shims, and c clamps, and fashion together the best damn whatsit degoombulator you ever saw.

Those pliers will absolutely fuck up a screw that uses a 4mm allen.

Just the outside. Inside will still work for the Allen you don’t have.
