You Don’t Choose the Hammer, the Hammer Chooses You!

This is a just for fun story of how my big yellow hammer came into my life. I like telling this story so I thought I might as well post it for your enjoyment!

I’ve never been the type of person who insists on having the best tools. I’ve never been able to afford that! In fact, I grew up making due with whatever I could find. However, there are times when having a good tool is well worth the cost! In my opinion, knives fall into that category! But a hammer? I wouldn’t ever spend extra money to buy a good quality hammer. A hammer is a hammer right? Well, I admit that some hammers are better than others and if I were using one every single day for a living, I might consider it, but that isn’t me at all. My big yellow hammer is a more expensive one. So… why did I get it? How much did I pay for it? Well... I almost paid my life for it!
