Indexing a DeWalt

[Pops1911]

Well gang the wife and I are finally moving into our new digs south of Seattle in Kent. For a couple of months now we have been renovating our new home. You know the drill. Anyhoo I was using my DeWalt power screw driver one day recently for a rather large project. I was at it for what seemed like hours when wifey pops her head into the garage where I was making construction magic! No, really! She watches me for awhile then says, "You're indexing the DeWalt". "Wha?" I replied through sweat clouded safety eye glasses. She repeated it again except louder. "You are indexing your screw driver"! OK. I got it then and chuckled. The DeWalt is shaped like a yellow and black pistol. Between uses I was unconsciously indexing my screw driver! Automatic muscle response to the feel of a pistol shaped tool? Gosh I hope so! I am pretty anal [no wise cracks now] when it comes to indexing any pistol I handle. Muscles musta thought if it looks like a pistol, INDEX. Nice thing that muscle memory. Indexing my DeWalt, whoulda thunk? Have to confess I do occasionally "aim" it at things when I am DIYing. I'll be others do to. Don't forget to index ya'll.

I am guilty of indexing tools too. But I have been converted to the red team. Not quite as firearm feeling as when you see the all black makita drills.

Aw right! Yellow vs black vs blue! Better than Glock vs non-Glock! LOL

I do it with spray bottles too, apparently. And power washers.

Do the same with my impact gun and usually find mysekf trying not to "muzzle" people with it at times.

Guilty of indexing, too. Does anyone else also tend to carry a caulking gun at low-ready like this?


Guilty.

Naw. I'm already shakey enough without flinching too.

I know, right? Drills are VERY dangerous and SHOULD make one nervous!
