An earlier post below brought replys that I would call Break-isms. soundguy said of someone who could "break a 500# anvil with a chicken feather!"
730 virgil said of someone who could "have broke a piece of paper!"
Iowa tire guy said of one who "can break an anvil pulling it across a plowed field!" I heard of a guy who could "destroy a D-9 working in a sawdust pile!"
My personal favorite is " there wasn"t ever anything made, that couldn"t be broken, even to break steel balls, in a sandbox, with a rubber hammer!"
What have you heard?

Might not be a "Break-ism" but seems like it fits in this thread...

Have a good day,

"he could f-up a soup sandwich! "he's only got two things in his tool box, a crecent wrench, and a rubber. if he can't fix it with the crecent wrench, f-it"
"all they have in their toolboxses are bricks and ballbats!"
on the other hand, china is sending us cast iron anvis, so it is not so difficult to break one, nowadays!
three things to look at when evaluating some one. 1.peen end of their ball peen hammer. 2.condition of their 15" crecent hammer. 3.hole in the drawbar of their tractor. also, do a quick finger count on them! starting with ten, any # less is how many feet x 10 you need to stay away from them while they are operating equipment!

Refering to someone with very little mechanical ability: "Couldn't fix a sandwich"

A Navy captain said years ago that if he locked a sailor in an empty padded room with two cannon balls and came back an hour later he'd have one lost and the other one broken.

My late friend's son in law could ruin an anvil with a rubber mallet!

Well sort of....Pit reporter at one of the races we were at asked the crew chief what broke on the car, his reply was " Oil Pan failure...the oil pan failed to keep the rods in the motor" turned and walked away...the reporter was a little taken aback as they hadn't ever heard that explanation of an expired motor....
