My uncle swore I could use a framing hammer for trim work and I've been fixing nail pops for two days straight

He said 'a hammer's a hammer' so I used his old 28-ounce framing hammer on some fancy window casing and now I'm patching divots in MDF - has anyone else had a relative give them terrible tool advice that just cost you a whole weekend?

That 28-ouncer probably did more damage in one swing than a whole box of finishing nails could.

Tbh my dad told me a butter knife works just as good as a putty knife.
