# STUBBORN & REFUSING TO LET GO.
### The Tool Pun Department | Perry Acres Supply Co.
**Some people call it stubbornness. We call it a firm grip on our principles.**
And if that doesn't work, grab the locking pliers.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who know when to let go, and those who would rather strip every thread, break three tools, and prove a point nobody was arguing about.
We know which kind this shirt was made for.
Introducing **"Stubborn & Refusing to Let Go"** from the Perry Acres Supply Co. Tool Pun Department — where the tools are dependable, the jokes are questionable, and backing down is apparently not in the employee handbook.
Featuring vintage-style locking pliers, distressed lettering, and enough blue-collar attitude to make your favorite mechanic, handyman, or hardheaded tradesman feel personally represented.
Because sometimes you've just got to get a grip.
And sometimes you refuse to release it.
**Jimmy's official assessment:**
*"I've been called stubborn, difficult, and impossible to work with. Funny how nobody mentions that I'm usually right."*
Management would like to remind Jimmy that cooperation is part of his job description.
Jimmy would like to remind management that so is knowing what you're doing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Jimmy taking 3 to 5 days to ship my gear?
Because good craftsmanship takes a minute, and rushing Jimmy while he's holding a handsaw is a safety hazard. Every shirt and sticker is custom printed to order. We promise it’s worth the wait, but if you start pacing by the mailbox, just remember the labor rate matrix goes up if you start checking the tracking status every five minutes.
Why did my shirt and sticker arrive separately?
To get you the highest quality gear, our t-shirts and vinyl stickers are printed using specialized equipment that occasionally ships from different fulfillment centers. Don't worry if one part of your order arrives a day or two before the other—tracking numbers are provided for both packages!
Can I change or cancel my order?
To keep shipping fast, our system sends orders directly to our production partner almost immediately. We accept cancellations or order modifications strictly within 1 hour of purchase. After 1 hour, we cannot stop the printing process or offer a refund.
What is your return policy?
Because every single item is custom printed specifically for you when you order, all sales are final. We cannot accept returns or exchanges for incorrect size selection, color preferences, or buyer's remorse. Please double-check our size charts carefully before completing your purchase!
What if my item arrives damaged or misprinted?
If your gear arrives with a printing defect, graphic error, or transit damage, we will absolutely make it right. Please send us a message within 14 days of delivery with a clear photo of the issue, and we will send out a free replacement reprint immediately.
