Metal + Cold = Broken


It never even crossed my mind that even though I was okay with working in the 35 degree unheated garage...my tools were not.  The first casualty was my drill bit.  It snapped in half.  I just chalked it up to being overworked and worn out.  Then the screw head broke off.  What the heck!!!!  If everything keeps breaking...this is soooo gonna take a while! Until I remembered that metal gets brittle when cold. Duhhh!!!!



I think my tools should learn to man up!  I mean...really...35 degrees is only a bit chilly.  It's not like there's a negative sign in front of that temp...at least not yet!
