My favorite tool is the one that gets me put of a bind.

No real Favorite Love all of mine the favorite would be the tool in my hand at time it is needed, when it comes to carpentry I am aways amazed at what results a nice router bit can turn a piece of wood into of course a 13" planer is pretty cool to see it spitting out tons of wood curls and making large stock into fine wood stock, (no pun intented). :lol:

it's for holding punches and chisles and the like. keeps my little piddies out of harms way when i get to swingin' that hammer. plus it lessens the shock you feel from the hammer blows.

My reciprocating saw. Haven't had it long but the thing is a true joy to have. I've had several occassions where a stripped bolt or a stuck distributor have frustrated me and the reciprocating saw has solved the problem. :evil: :evil: I've taken to calling it my "F* It" Saw. Cause when I get pissed by something not coming out that should, that's what I say and I go and grab the saw. :thup:

Fav Tool: Snap-On air hammer! Also the pickle fork attachment for doing ball joints at work. Loud but effective!

#1 is a Leatherman original PST. I've got a newer one that broke on me. I haven't sent it back yet.. thank God I kept the old one - it hasn't failed me yet.

#2 is a Stihl 029

#3 is a Sawzall (actual Milwaukee)

#4 is a Harbor Freight 32oz ball peen hammer.

I really need an air compressor. Electric tools aren't bad, but I'd love to have a bunch of air tools too.
