I'm happy if I can get away with the triple infront of people. My last journey would do it over his back though... the snap sound is important for the lineman flip
With my beater flathead I'm usually doing single flip, double flip, triple fli-FUCK!, start over, single flip...
It's not everyday, but it's often enough
All the time.
Edit: Also do this with channel locks/knipex pliers, strippers (not that kind), dykes (not that kind either) pretty much anything evenly weighted enough.

I do this with my Kline's all the time
Same. Typically walking around the job site

I’ll spin my hammer around my fingers like it was my keys.
Every time I pull a tool out of the belt it gets a flip
Florescent tubes even
Klein wanted to sponsor me for my flipping ability..
I’m more of a twirler. Linemans and cobras
This and bouncing screw drivers off concrete makes me feel like a cool dude
Just wait until you catch it in your tool pouch
I’ll never be that cool :(
Practice practice practice
All day long
You're weird but it's common.
I am the North American record holder of the quintuple flip of my Kleins. Please, no autographs.
Ok Kim Jung Un. 18 holes in one the next day too, I bet
How'd you know?

Always lol
I do this with almost all my tools, and some of my knifes. As long as it’s “safe” enough, the ADHD takes over and it’s getting flipped.
Lines allllll day
Love doing this with my Estwing.
I don’t work much with my tools anymore but the habit has carried through to anything else screwdriver shaped
I do it with my linemans every-time i pretwist…
IM SO TRIGGERED!! haha
This is my hammer
I always open and close my dykes or channies repeatedly, idk why I just like the feel and sound
Only when I threaten my helper.
And water bottles...and hammers
If it fits in my hand, I'm going to flip it.
A lot of us do that. In the trades.
It's often associated with s*xual orientation dysphoria... quite common among electricians..
Wait, wut
