As a machinist a lathe is the first thing that comes to mind, you get some clothing or even a rope caught in the wrong place and it’ll eat you alive

    I work at a tool store and often fantasize about a zombie apocalypse or something starting while I’m at work. Should fit this situation, so let’s go! If it happens in… Aisle 1: dual wielding a drill and heatgun Aisle 2: dual wielding circular saw and angle grinder Aisle 3: put on safety goggles, strangle them with AirTool hoses Aisle 4: dual wielding air nailers! Aisle 5: giant wrench Aisle 6: screwdriver to the face Aisle 7: steel automotive jack handles Aisle 8: wench snare traps everywhere Aisle 9: pickaxe Aisle 10: generator fumes Aisle 11: tumbling tower of tires Back wall: hammers!

    A germy child that sneezes on its face. Teaching is a constant state of protecting yourself from biological warfare.

    The autopsy saw. It’s a gleaming monstrosity of stainless steel designed to part human flesh like Moses parted the red sea. You can stack zombies as deep as you want, the saw won’t even slow down. The only thing that will stop it is the length of the mechanical arm it hangs from, because it’s unfortunately too heavy for most people to lift.

    An industrial wood chipper (used in saw mills). The disc is 5’ 6", holds 6 x 18" knives and can chip an 8’ x 15" diametre log in about 1 to 2 seconds.

    It is deadly as they come.

    I work at a bowling alley with a bar, so there’s quite a few ways.

    • Hit them with a bowling ball.
    • Beat them with a bumper stick.
    • Make a Molotov cocktail.
    • Use the knives in the kitchen to stab them.

    I’m an auto mechanic, honestly like 80% of the things I touch every day could kill most things if applied properly.

    Thinking about reach and convenience from my toolbox, I’m thinking the 5’ steel prybar (effectively a 10 lb baseball bat with a sharp tip) or the cv axle I took out earlier. Honorable mention to one of a variety of possible chemical attacks or just straight up dropping a car on it.

    Recently retired from a place that makes rocket engines, and there’s just so much. Start with a rocket engine itself - the combustion gasses are like 3300 C (6000 F) with more than 400,000 lb of thrust. But there’s a lot associated. We dealt with lots of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. We have a giant braze oven that we can put a whole rocket nozzle into. It’s quite an arsenal.
