kruton Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 So it's always interesting to see some people's screen names on the forums. So I guess what's the meaning behind your screen name if it isn't obvious like your name or something. People couldn't pronounce my last name in college so it got morphed into kruton and it has stuck ever since.

My daughter is obsessed with tape measures (just like her dad) but not too much into tools. I'm trying to convince my wife that since I have two sons I need to buy two of everything so I can give them both a set when I hang it up. So far she isn't biting.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She just looked at me and said you're a dick. I thought it was a good answer. I mean I could have just said If I just have one of this tool and I'm at work and it's at home it's not doing me any good. But fun is that.
