Why do I do this

Last week I had to as my DH to tighten the nut on my rotary cutter. I now need to change the blade. I think that nut is welded on there. DH is out for today. Thank goodness for my rotary cutter collection, but the other one is my fav.

It's one of the many parts of Murphy's law.

Can you put a drop of WD40 on the nut then try to unscrew it with pliers?

I have learned over the years never to use the word "tighten" when speaking to a man.

That is so true, Cass62. Anything that my hubby tightens is tight to stay.

Sometimes it just is not worth letting the DH's into the sewing room. Other times. .,,...

It's lucky you have other cutters, I would have to go out and buy another one if that happened to me!

That's when I would raid my husbands tool box for vice grips and handle that stubborn nut.

I had one of those pliers like to put snaps on , well I couldn't get it to do right and asked DH to see if he could get the snap on . Well, he bent it !!! He held it so tight it just twisted ! Never to be used again!! !LOL
