Edit: I should clarify this isn't my actual job so I don't typically carry any type of hammer or chipping device. I'm an electrician and I was waiting for my coworker to come back with a fitting we thought we wouldn't be using but then decided to use anyway.
MV Edit: Send pictures of your pets please

When you only have a hammer...

No, you're fine. Adam Savage approves.

As if you had to tell me you were an electrician with your channels taped like that! I do that to all my tools so I always have tape with me if I need to mark stuff or tape something rq
fistermatic5000
Lol I guess most didn't catch that because the first few comments were telling me a hammer would get the job done quicker. I have a tool bag full of "hammers".

I'm sitting here hacking from shit like his years back. Dust mask plz.

My first thought when I saw hammering being done with anything BUT a hammer was "found the electrician!" 🤣 then I saw your edit 🙃

looks like an oil rig to me. probably the mud tanks. could be calcium or bicarb buildup? not sure.

zafner
This looks like a cement plant to me, but I've never been on an oil rig like the other guy said. It's not calcium. Could be a calcium compound I'm not aware of. But I work in a lot of different industrial facilities and I've done a lot of cement plants and that looks like a cement plant. The stuff he's hammering off isn't the final product

Looks like a cement plant?
fistermatic5000
Close. They make direct reduced iron, but here is the area that they coat the product in cement.
PwnageHobo
I knew those puddles had a haematite hue, but figured the crusty stuff was magnetite, not cement
MyPowerLiesInMyBookshelf
I've done work cleaning up cement dust before, including jack-hammering a staircase (while standing on it) to get the cement off of it lol
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
Uh you aren't using your linesman to hammer? What kind of electrician are you?
fistermatic5000
This is my chipping pliers
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
Lol fair, usually whatever i brought to a potash mine is my alternate hammer.

You seem to be doing a lot of dying for pets.

I think I'd use a chipping hammer.
fistermatic5000
I don't have one.
Vonmonj
What's with the dripping water?
fistermatic5000
It's a cement coating process. There's a part where they spray the product to moisten it before it gets a fine dusting of portland
madsander
Top catwalks in a steel mill be like that only thicker.
fistermatic5000
Yeah this was one of the better sections. I was up there yesterday and some some super thick stuff but some operators were up there so I couldn't take my phone out.
madsander
I’ve been at the top of the BOP when they had a little explosion, and the dust cloud was insane.
ZK383
um.... hammer? ball peen?
fistermatic5000
I don't have one
ZK383
I get it. Just, as a tool guy, I hate to see pump pliers used as a hammer. However, not sitting in judgement here, I'd bet that every tool I have has been misused at some point..
fistermatic5000
I hear you I'm an electrician I was just fucking off while my coworker ran to get a fitting lol. It's a cement coater for the ore and everything has a perfectly layered cement coating on it.
ZK383
I was a master electrician from late 1960s to 1990s, I get it.

I worked at a rock quarry for 8 years. This is actually a thing and it's scary when cleaning makes shit more dangerous.

I once joked that one of our metal buildings was coated with load-bearing paint. Something was holding it together.

Having worked in a place that looked very much like this, I was expecting exactly that. I had coworkers whose ultrasonic material thickness test probe poked holes straight through the gas pipe they were supposed to be testing
Ronelyn
Yeep!
WaitingForTheDrop
I used to take UT Thickness readings on pipes before moving to aerospace and heard stores of the transducer poking holes in pipe. You can tell this will happen. I was with an API who insisted on a reading in that spot. I told him it was too corroded and not possible, afraid I'd poke thru on a system that wasn't shut down. He dragged me out there and scraped off the pipe, and told me to take a reading while he looked. The transducer fell right thru, and I told him the thickness was zero.
DylenVoght
Dude that's hilarious!! I hope you felt super satisfied.
WaitingForTheDrop
Mostly felt lucky that while the system was online, it wasn't currently running. Otherwise, it would have burnt my hand with hot gases when the transducer poked through. I made him go to the client and tell them what he'd done lol

When the only tool you have is a cresent wrench, everything looks like a nut.

Not a cresent wrench, but yes. What does your username mean?

I just broke mine last week & I'm still upset about the whole thing... Whatever new one I get to replace it will probably be a poor imitation 😭

Im an electrician, and thats what I call a "grabby hammer". I also have a few "twisty hammers" and even a "cutty hammer".
mattjpresley0
Yes! The inverse of the expression “when your only tool is a hammer…”.
I originally came to the comments to relate how often I have to do exactly this to our mixing paddle.
rangerdood
I often use an adjustable hammer
HermoineGrangersHair
That's Millwright talk.

As an HVAC tech, I regularly use my impact as a hammer on my 11-in-1 to unscrew sealtight fittings.
FeChefImgur
What about the "wrenchy hammer" ?
fistermatic5000
Finally someone who gets it lol
nslatz22
When you need a hammer but dont have a hammer, everything is a hammer.
Nice cement plant you have there BTW.
RevengeIsIceCream
At least turn it around and hammer with the back of the head!
fistermatic5000
It's a multi-tool. One side is for hammering and the side I'm using is for chipping. They say it can be used as pliers but I already have a pair of pliers.
Defecakes
Im an electrician. And I always have a hammer. Probably because I mostly do residential though
Jeenius
Oh, I have the hammer. It's just all the way out in the truck, and I already have something that can technically do the job.
fistermatic5000
Every tool is a hammer if you hammer with it.

For hammering staples
