When i get a new tool i scuff it up and throw it around to make it look like it's old and i've owned it for a while

We know, bepis
Nah I’m not Opie, but he obviously got lernd from my ways.
I got heckin good at making saw blades look used with a sanding block and a little acid to force patina. You wouldn’t even know I bought picrel on Tuesday and have never cut anything with it. That’s craftsmanship!
not him, his tools are pristine possibly in original box
I don't do that with tools, but I have been known to rub dirt on new sneakers.
OP coats it in menthol petroleum jelly, too. That way it smells like his cigarettes taste.
oh OP do the mean girls at the shop make fun of you if your tools aren't fashionably worn in?
I used to do that with shoes because i felt like a gay with too new shoes
Im in my 30s now and i recently decided im too old for that kind of shit and nobody cares so i wore new shoes somewhere and someone i didnt know said something like
>hey kicks nice shoes
and i instantly remembered why i like dirtying them up
after reading this post i will, out of fear, dirty any new footwear i purchase for the remainder of my days on this accursed planet
I haven’t owned a pair of white shoes in like 15 years because I can’t make it more than 3 days before they look like shit.
Red on black Jordan mid tops only.
I can't imagine being this timid.
You should do that with new cars too.
Just park it at wall mart for a few days in the stall next to the carts.
Then you wont have to worry about getting dents or scratches because it allready has lots.
>the stall next to the carts.
Nah, statistically speaking, if people get the cart that close to the stall, they put it in. Go 2/3 of the way from the stall and then you’ll get a paint job that looks like pre-stressed Hollister jeans from 2001
everything i work on is a complete grease bomb so the first time i use a tool it looks years old anyway
copper sulfate inscribe your name on it.
little water thin paint brush and watch it etch your metal tool.
When I buy an old tool, I soak the steel parts in evapo rust, coat/paint bare metal, add plastic dip or heat shrink tube to worn handles, oil joints, and sand+re-finish wood handles.
Basically the opposite.
I need halp. Is OP still here?
When I buy new tools, it's from a pawn shop and comes preseason
i keep my tools loose in bags with each other so they end up dirtying each other up before i even use them
