Tool and Die


TOOL and DIE


Perhaps we were lucky that toy companies do not rule the working world but limit the moulding of the plastic Army men just to themselves the makers of finsforfeet and large blobs on ends of guns tabs on locks stocks and barrels when playing in th edirt it was neat to be covered up with dirt them tabs never showing like a weight they were supposed to just stand there so Little Joe Army man would stay upright on his feet but no one ever actually did it like this. They sometimes twisted them off usually losing a leg in the process can you imagine a real life making of wrenches the plastic toy army man way. The first one is poured then allowed to cool then dumped looking like the half of a wrench that it is then another is poured the half that has been cooled is slapped on top too soon allowed to sit until the whole wrench is finished with FINS sticking out all over the place. Steel instead of plastic much harder to trim off always in the way of the Mechanic during your OIL change making life much harder then it reasonably is. Eye grab a 9/16 only to have to stop and trim the edges so eye can twist it even in only one direction stopping starting ripping off chunks to finish JOB while boss is laughing in your face at your plastic tool and die job.
