Hook User Badge Request
on: August 14, 2021, 10:41:35 PM
Originally I had three pictures set up for this badge request, but I guess I deleted the one where I was pulling staples out of cardboard boxes with it. The bottle opener works better, but the hook got it done too.

Pic 1 - Fishing/re-routing some motor leads so that sealtite flex could be installed.

Pic 2 - Tonight's dinner is a whole chicken with veggies cooked in a dutch oven. I will follow up with a finished pic once it's done. While the hook did get a good enough bite on the wire handle, I think I will open the hook up slightly to allow a more secure engagement around the wire. The T-handle shape was a comfortable way to lift the weight.

Thank you for considering this thread for my "Hook User Badge"

Excellent uses :like:
It’s one of those tools that polarizes opinion. Some people think it’s a waste of space but like you I find it quite useful. Works really well for getting the oil filter out of my mower :tu:

Food looks delicious :drool:

Excellent stuff. :tu:

I do like the hook, I just wish the nail file version was more readily used by Vic.

Good job.
For me the hook is like someone you have in your team, that you try to find work for him to do, so you dont have to fire him.  :dunno:

I think you summed it up pretty good. It would likely have been a real asset a hundred years ago, but now you kinda have to be creative to find uses for it.


Does anyone know if there is an issue with the badge system? I have two open badge requests that I haven't heard anything back on? This one is brand new, so no worries, but the "Time Lord" badge has been open for a week and a half or so. Just wanting to make sure I am doing my part correctly.

I had a Hacker badge request that was open for a while but eventually a moderator saw it and granted the request.
