This troper was actually in a shop class with a student named Tim Taylor, and his approach to using the hand tools seemed to be "apply as much force as possible, always". He was eventually kicked out for violating safety rules.

This troper remembers getting a set of speakers for his PC, which he though was long dead, to work again by using an AC adapter to power it...one that was a bit more powerful than what it called for. With the greater amount of power going through them, they where working better than they ever had...until I heard a loud "pop" and saw a tiny trail of smoke come out of the speaker.

Green LED's turn bright yellow and pop when connected to four 9V batteries. Is epic!

Cheapo MP3 player with built in crappy speaker? Meet toy microphone and amp kit...

Laptop which overheats due to being designed by idiots which never thought it'd be used in a Brazilian summer? Meet a table fan.

This troper overclocked his (somewhat) expensive gaming computer by 10% (a very small amount). It ran perfectly stable as always and ultimately worked for the better.

Some Amateur Radio and CB operators qualify for TimTaylorTechnology, with a few ''thousand'' watts of linear amplifiers bolted onto their rigs. I've heard a few jokes about those operators needing a separate substation for their houses.
