Hardware Can Be Kicked — Instrumentum Calcitrari Potest
Because Sometimes Impact Is the Only Debugger That Works
🔧 When in doubt — reboot, retry, or just kick it.
Instrumentum Calcitrari Potest — Latin for “Hardware can be kicked.”
A timeless truth of engineering: sometimes, a firm tap achieves what hours of debugging cannot.
This shirt celebrates the pragmatic genius of those who fix things by feel, intuition, and occasionally, by foot.
Because elegance is nice — but effectiveness? That’s divine.

- Instant ice-breaker — perfect for labs, offices, or repair benches everywhere.
💬 What it says without saying it
“I tried turning it off and on again — now I’m turning it over.”
“Debugging with boots-on hardware testing since day one.”
“Theory’s nice. Torque is nicer.”
This design isn’t just a joke — it’s a badge of resourcefulness.
A wink to every tech who knows that impact engineering is an art form.
🧰 Where to wear it
- At work: when your patience runs out but your sense of humor doesn’t.
- At the makerspace: pairs perfectly with coffee, duct tape, and determination.
- At conferences: the shirt that gets more nods than a working prototype.
