If you were/are a redneck, or if youre just super proficient with simple tools (you know who you are); Its time we have little fun. What would be the items you would include in the super dooper redneck tool box.
#1 the obvious, duct tape....for when things that are moving, shouldnt move.
bring em on guys, you kow you have them,
#2 Cable ties, i work on a farm and you can fix ANYTHING with a cable tie, or more than one cable tie attached to another.
#3 WD40, or similar type spray lubricant, cant lubricate anything in the field for a short period of time or unstick stuck things with it.
A role of Bailing wire.

Many of us rednecks lack teeth.
Det Cord, because once you've mangled it beyond recognition trying to fix it you have to get rid of the evidence that you are a completely retarded inbred hack.
No ones mentioned what were keeping the tools in.
We could go for the classic...
An old oil soaked towel/sheet, grimey with holes in it which you put the tools in then wrap up and tie with a piece of ripped sheet.
Or we could go for the redneck toolchest 1000...
A half of a 10 gal oil drum rusted all over so when you've finished working you can burn shaZam!. ROCK ON! :2guns:
Plastic 5 gal bucket or cardboard box.
I just leave them hanging around on the drive/garden/garage-floor.........nice and handy for throwing at stray dogs taking a dump, trick or treaters and the jehovas witnesses.
propane torch
hammer
vice grips
bailing wire
duct tape
multi-screwstick
loctite
anti-seize
^ if those things can't fix it, it can't be fixed
Sledge: I find the best way to deal with JW's is to answer the door in your boxers with a shotgun over your shoulder and a beer in one hand regardless of what time in the morning it is.
As you know Tel owning anything other than a spudgun in our fair isle is a big issue and as a result we have to resort to other methods........I find that engaging them in positive conversation, then slowly droping you trousers/pants and starting to mast****e furiously without loosing eye contact is also a very effective method of ensuring a hasty departure on their behalf.
A crappy pair of diagonal snips with dents in the cuttign edges from where theyve been used to snip the exposed shafts off of bent over nails.
A full set of completely dull drill bits that dont drill, they burn/rub a hole in stuff
The ole' coffee can of nuts, bolts, screws, and misc fasteners that didnt find thier homes after the "rebuilds"
no one's mentioned a block of wood.
My favorite redneck tool has been a socket with notches cut out so that it'll fit Suzuki spanner nuts.
Beer or whiskey. either in enough quantity will fix anything. if not borrow terrys det cord

True.
My favorite tool is profanity. A few well screamed words will make that nut come right off. That don't work, break out the cutting torches. Who says you can't make a square peg fit a round hole?
speaking of alky, ive got a full bottle of french vodka, im taking to my shop in the am, to pull my 13b from my rx7, ill cuss, get drunk, that f%$king Buddha Loves You will come right ont

If it wont fit you need a bigger hammer :laugh: :thumb:
or a bigger hole, or trim away the corners on the peg with the claw on a claw hammer..lol...theres always a way. remember, insanity and genius are closely related in the engineering field....lmao
