Am I the only one who sees guys trying to hammer on a stuck bearing with a regular claw hammer?
I watched a new guy at our shop in Spokane last month try to free a seized idler pulley bearing by whacking it with his framing hammer, which just mushroomed the race and made the whole job take three extra hours. It matters because you can ruin a good housing or even hurt yourself when a piece flies off. What's the weirdest tool you've seen someone try to use for a job it was never meant for?

That Spokane guy probably got the job done anyway.

Totally agree, he definitely finished it. That kind of person doesn't start something without seeing it through. They have a specific way of working and they stick to it until the end. You can just tell by the way they talk about things. It's all about getting a result, no matter what. So yeah, the job is done, no doubt about it.

Honestly, watching how someone handles a small promise tells you everything. Tbh, if they show up on time for a coffee meet, they'll probably finish the big project too. It's that follow-through on tiny stuff that builds trust. Ngl, I've seen it a hundred times, and that pattern never lies.
