I think he's holding a nail or staple gun. I agree that the pic isn't demonstrative, it relies on the caption to get the point across.
Aye, it's just a page quote with a random image attached.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWould panels 1+3 of this◊ comic work?
Yeah, I don't even think it's an example, just an image of Tim Taylor.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Kind of looks like a jigsaw due to the shoe.
Anyway, suggestion in 4 does work, even if it's a lot of text. Though it's really closer to Explosive Overclocking, so maybe not a good idea.

Check out my fanfiction!Suggestion 4 appears to be a subversion of the trope (since "more power" doesn't actually work in it), would be nicer if the illustration shows a straight example.

That, or a failed Oven Logic.
Forget the suggestion then, but I still think the current image needs to go.
Clock is set; voting to pull the current for JAFAAC regardless of replacement.
Second.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Seconded - and maybe something from The Whiteboard would work? Been reading that today, and http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb442.html might be functional for it, or possibly the third panel of this one, or this single-panel one.

"Why would I inflict myself on somebody else?"Both are just talking heads (the art is irrelevant to the words they are saying), and there is a copyright problem with using single-panel cartoons anyway.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.This page provides an ongoing example. For instance, we could use the first panel of any of the moon lighting strips, then the "more power" guy, then the first panel of the next set of strips.
Also, who the hill is Tim Taylor anyway?
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!Lead character on Home Improvement.
This one may fit as a replacement - http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1216.html
It fits the overall theme ("Why fix what you can upgrade?") and shows how unreasonable such a "fix" might be.
"Why would I inflict myself on somebody else?"Is that even this trope? I mean, trying to chainsaw the gun to fix it isn't the same as trying to increase its powers, at least for me.
I was referring to the juxtaposition between the first and third panels. The second would be more of a Doom It Yourself, I think.
Edit: Though I think I see the objection anyway - the way the trope is described, it's just about more power, whereas I've been thinking it's doing more, bigger, and better with whatever is being worked on (putting an actual, working engine inside a downhill derby car, for example), since that's what I tended to see on Home Improvement.

"Why would I inflict myself on somebody else?"Well, it may work with the third panel, since bigger usually means more power (although, I didn't really see what was happening there at first). I suppose it's better than nothing, so that gets a tentative
This one might be a bit more clear than the other, though there isn't the juxtaposition factor - http://www.the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1483.html
"Why would I inflict myself on somebody else?"That seems to be illustrating Awesome, yet Impractical, though.

How about this? Nuclear battery?
There's also a real line of gasoline-powered blenders, which would fall into this trope.

Aside from not looking particularly good, just because it's nucular doesn't mean it's absurdly strong, considering the main selling point for batteries is lifetime.
Check out my fanfiction!That battery looks really poorly photoshoped. But the gas blender◊ is a good idea. Also this razor◊ from GTA V.
Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.That battery doesn't look photoshopped, but it doesn't look like the trope either.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI like that boat-motor blender, actually.
Ok. So I see some guy holding an unidentified electrical object. How does this remotely show that whatever problem it has can be fixed by increasing its power?
