Pro tip: Lock your shop door when the kids are running around

A quick trip inside can turn bad fast if tools are left out. My little brother almost cut himself on a loose blade I forgot to put away. Now I make sure everything is stored before I step out.

Ever notice how kids can sniff out danger like it's candy? Locking the door might keep them out, but they probably learned how to pick locks from YouTube anyway. My place is like a minefield if I leave a screwdriver on the table. You almost need a security system just for the tool chest, right?

My neighbor's kid actually dismantled a locked toolbox with a butter knife he found in the kitchen. It feels like they treat every barrier as a personal challenge.

Read somewhere that this is why childproofing never really works. They just see it as a puzzle to solve.
