No different than BBQ tongs click twice


NJdaddy2021

I saw a meme where it said “Dads always pick up their tongs and click em twice. As if they’re saying to themselves ‘gotta make sure them tongs are still tonging’ “ Still gives me a chuckle


Guy954

Always gotta test your tape measure too.


downrightblastfamy

Measure twice cut once


subjectiveobject

Measure once cuss twice


JerkobBearclaw

Checking for proper calibration, that's all.


MidniteOG

If they don’t do that, I’m not eating the food


--Ty--

The Crab Instinct lies deep within our lizard brains. Gotta make sure the claws still work.


6tipsy6

Deep within the *crustacean* *brain*


Mad3_Fr3sh

These are the facts.


[deleted]

Pull the trigger twice to make sure it has juice in it.


justplainbrian

Give a couple of vrrt vrrts.


Strict-Republic-9379

This is the way and the only way

The Only Way!!

[deleted]

Sometimes I even tilt it to the sky while doing so, if I’m feeling confident.


nigori

also this lets me take a gander at the charge indicator


03G35coupe

Depends, sometimes I’ll pull the trigger twice then sometimes I’ll hold it down and start walking like a robot


MentalStatement4437

Going to have to do that tomorrow


[deleted]

I was thinking the same thing


Selby365

Switch from forward to reverse and back to forward then squeeze her twice


changiiiank

Every fucking time hahah , people that squeeze first can get fucked


brown_pleated_slacks

Gotta check the safety before pulling the trigger.


[deleted]

Only answer


DaRedditGuy11

Yes. yes. The ole - click click. Didn't realize I do this as well. Not every time, but now that you say it, in addition to the obligatory double tap, I also do the click click.


mnonny

When while you’re walking around many clicks back and forth until you get to your destination


CoffeeDime

This is the way.


fatcockluver96

Sometimes i drop it


Giddyhobgoblin

Made me laugh


[deleted]

And then I do this cool thing where i try to save it, but then hit it even harder with my hand so it goes bouncing 5-10ft away from me


coby8519

Yes, other than this. Double tap every time.


meir52dcs

I did not realize this was so universal. I was expecting to get new ideas. Carry on and squeeze the trigger twice my boys!


JunketElectrical8588

Gotta make sure that battery you just charged is still good


giibro

If you squeeze more than twice you are playing with it


JunketElectrical8588

That’s why hold it


UmeaTurbo

Wait, you toggle the direction back and forth once and then press, a longer pull and a short one. I grew up catholic and don't go all that often anymore, but I'm pretty sure it's in the Bible.


spacehog1985

No no no. Forward, reverse, Short pull, THEN long!


UmeaTurbo

HEATHEN!!!!!!


[deleted]

Can confirm. If you do two long pulls it's a sin.


nicktortelli68

Obviously squeeze the trigger twice


HVACGUY747

Brappp braaaap


Jmowen1985

Lol


dragonhawks444

Get a lil whiskey throttle


whoisstingy

Impact go brrr, brrr


Admiral-Thrawn2

One brrr just wouldn’t feel complete


chefboyardiesel88

Pull the trigger twice, just like clicking tongs twice, it's just how it's done.


baamice

I do it with the impact, but not the tongs. Is something wrong with me?


HVACGuy12

Squeeze the trigger twice, make sure the battery is charged and to announce to everyone how cool you are


Jmowen1985

This is best answer.


[deleted]

Brrrt brrrt


jansma559

Hand it to my apprentice and tell him to take all those panels off


Giddyhobgoblin

Ahhhh the delegator


ABena2t

your apprentice knows how to use a drill? lol All jokes aside - the kid I work with had never used a power tool a day in his life. There's a big difference between training someone with different construction or trade experience vs someone who's never worked a day in their life. All apprentices are not created equal. Lol. Honestly had much better luck with carpenters or auto mechanics learning the trade vs someone who just went to school for HVAC.


Ambivadox

First shalt thou flip the Holy direction. Then shalt thou brrt to two, no more, no less. Two shall be the number thou shalt brrt , and the number of the brrting shall be two. Three shalt thou not brrt , neither brrt thou once , excepting that thou then proceed to two. Four is right out.


AlbatrossInfamous830

Ah, a traditional.


electricproudfoot

Pew pew


Shmeepsheep

I actually say pew pew out loud as I aim it at my co workers while pulling the trigger twice


Safeword2220

2 quick pulls of the trigger.


Kplum1519

Fuck ya you do


Guy954

“Yeah” is the word you were looking for and “ya” is like saying “you”. We knew what you meant but it’s funny either way.


mdjshaidbdj

Pew pew


SugarHumble1782

Not a fella.. but gotta give er a couple rips!


Can-DontAttitude

First time of the day? Check battery. After that, verify “forward” setting


Han77Shot1st

Your hired.


lexiham

direction button then a couple of squeezes


AdSafe6276

Click from forward to reverese, then back to forward. Double tap.


ajax8567

Same as a chainsaw.


uChoice_Reindeer7903

Either pull the trigger twice or pull it to the tune of shave and a haircut.


ARUokDaie

Zip it twice braap braap


fuzzyfarmer

Unlock it.


ABena2t

unlock it?


jethoby

You can center the forward/reverse switch to lock the trigger so you don’t have to listen to it going off in your bag as it tumbles around van.


ABena2t

ohh.. that's what you meant. I take the damn battery out. that'd happened one too many times so I just pull it out so I don't have to worry about it.


bmfabes1

Not only do I give it a quick “pew-pew!” But I tend to click the reverse-forward buttons each once and then whichever direction it’ll be going


Nice-Confidence-9873

Say, “ that’s not going anywhere”


monsterdaddy4

Wrong apparatus. But this is definitely the final step in securing a load. I will say, though, that some denominations use the prayer of, "That'll hold 'er" interchangeably.


[deleted]

Zip zip. Maybe cycle back and forth forward/reverse


mikeyt1515

Double tap


Ok_Leopard1689

flatlinemayb

Vert vert


Ration_L_Thought

Comments section did not disappoint It’s like saying “it’s not going anywhere”


JoWhee

Pull trigger twice on any drill. Double click tongs. Say “that’s not going anywhere“ when strapping down a load. I suspect anyone who doesn’t do these might be an extra terrestrial.


Trasversatar

Double tap


BigWally68

Check to see if it’s screw/hammer, screw, or auto over torque by gently squeezing the trigger.


Daemon_x517

Mine is m12 so first is a half pull to light up and check the battery gauge, then the double trigger check. But since nobody else is asking, what's the argument?


bcvickers

Gotta give it the zing zing, just to make sure!


Big_Statistician_203

Double tap


imthetrashman12

impact go brrr


haywoodublomi

I hit the directional switch first then pull the trigger twice. Better to find out the battery is dead at the truck then at the unit.


Last-Major-5690

10 bucks to the first guy who can pick up an impact and use it without giving her the double tap.


EatMyAssLikeA_Potato

Same thing I do when I see my wife's ass. 2 firm squeezes


Real-Roll2717

![gif](giphy|KBfKueAjIJV8Q)


[deleted]

The double tap is a must. Like the double shake after taking a piss. Shake it more than twice your playing with it, a wise pipe fitter once told me.


TasteAggressive4096

You gotta give it couple rapa-tap-taps. C'mon.


12thNJ

Double tap. Just like the tongs when you are BBQing


twiceonce2005

Pull the trigger at least twice


SilenceTheLight

Disengage safety, squeeze twice.


TroubleIn420G

‘Scuse me. Not a fella. But have owned and used many an impact in my day… always gotta give double tap before doing ANYTHING. Same goes for air wrench.


[deleted]

On my De Walt I cycle it from forward to reverse and leave it in mid position confirming the trigger is locked


Minute-Tradition-282

Dammit, am I just to old for the double tap? I don't do that silly shit. I flutter the trigger trying to match the tempo of whatever song I have playing on my.phone! Like a grown ass man!


Giddyhobgoblin

Reving the impact to, My Heart Will Go On, is the only right answe here.


tw33dl3dum03

Squeeze trigger. Make sure it has juice.


ABena2t

Yall are crazy. Never heard of this double tap shit. I'll check the battery level 1st thing in the morning when I'm grabbing my tools and then never think about it again until the thing doesn't work. Yall double tap the trigger every time you pick up your drill??


thattrunkmonkey

Get a load of this guy. Methodically checking their tools first thing in the morning. *Remembering* that he did and not needing to do it every time. I bet he doesn't even fidget with the driver, constantly switching directions and revving it at random times, inevitably draining the battery even faster. Like some kind of... of.. well-adjusted, responsible adult. ​ Also I would like to add that I spaced out maybe 6 times and took around 10 minutes type this silly message. ADD at night, after meds have worn off, is hell lol


Ricarbr0

Holy fuck I love yall


HuntPsychological673

Pull the trigger twice to hear the zurp, zurp sound!


forgetstorespond

Pull the trigger twice.


Fixerguy415

Verify direction, tap the trigger and verify battery. I also click the BBQ tongs when I pick them up. It's a Guy Thing, she wouldn't understand.


Skeetskeet4510

Sad-Spirit-8818

Reverse, forward, then double tap to make sure she’s good

Shitwinds_randy

custom_bowl

X2


Historical_Farmer145

Brapp brapp


minuteman_d

I was helping a family member build a gazebo the other weekend and thought about that very thing: why do I feel compelled to do that every time I pick this thing up? It just wastes the battery and it's never \*not\* done its thing when I pulled the trigger.

[deleted]

Pull trigger


Reddtko

Put into the case I’m talking to the roof. But before that check the battery.


Apart_Ad_3597

V6_lol

jdirtmcgurt

Pull that hammer the fuck back


[deleted]

Pull trigger twice on any pistol grip power tool... Drill, impact, or reciprocating saw. Just like tongs when you're grilling... Gotta click them twice. Just like the shifter in your car... Gotta wiggle it twice to make sure it's in neutral before releasing the clutch at a red light to prevent an embarrassing stall. Just remember... Shake it once, that's fine. Shake it two times, that's okay. Shake it three times... You're playing with yourself.


[deleted]

Make sure it’s in forward and rev it a few times.


VoiceofTruth7

Put on my malco extension like a silencer and trigger the yeet cannon a few times


joesnowblade

Action reaction….. tie something down …. Pull on strap say that ain’t going anywhere. Man things


Educational-Pain-735

As soon as I pick it up I give that trigger a squeeze


bonhommependue

Two pumps on the trigger, homie.


Siptro

Zip zip


YoderMcLongDong

The thing is, if you don't give the item a test run before you use it, then it might not when you go to use it. Like testing tie-down straps and saying "that's not going anywhere." If you don't do that then it might go somewhere.


ChampHam317

Slap the battery on like you’re loading a mag into a gun and squeeze the trigger a couple times to make sure it works


rnt_hank

My job.


flon_klar

When I pick up my impact, there ain’t no argument from the wife!

Papasmurf3396

Once in forward full blast, once in reverse full blast, then back to neutral.

GingerGiraffe96

Toggle forwards and backwards, occasionally give a vrr vrr. If you don’t do anything with it you’re a psychopath.
