It figures, Howard, that you would have a plethora of sizes and types of hammers in your garage. I have only one, and believe me, just about every household repair problem indeed looks exactly like a nail. Even the one involving the pulling up of carpet to repair the rotted flooring underneath.
It is absolutely correct that the skilled professional SHOULD have a variety of tools on his/her belt, and SHOULD know how to use those tools, and in what circumstances. A number of the real world problems we discuss on this list tend to result from the limits of people's expertise. Some folks just "try things" until they solve a particular problem. After several months of this they have One Giant Mess, they don't know what to do. One can hope that the folks on this list are making a best effort to acquire a variety of tools, and the knowledge necessary to use them appropriately. Chuck ""Howard C.
