There are times when it is acceptable to misuse a tool, and other times when it is not. For example, if you are caught off-guard and need to open a can of paint, it is okay to go ahead and use a cheap flat head screwdriver. The following are a few tool misuse do’s and don’ts.
DO NOT use power tools in the kitchen. A drilled roast is not the best way to woo dinner guests.
