    Vice Grips are a wonderful tool.

    Torque wrench. The thinking man's hammer.

    SOG Multitool

    Its many tools in one

    I use a hammer daily but thankfully have plenty of other tools as the man/woman who only has a hammer see's everything as a nail

    BTW, the SOG is no substitute for a real hammer but great to have

    Hatchet

    Not many jobs you can use it for but splitting a log is a real joy.

    Also the scythe - fine tool. I'll never do the grass outside the retirement home with a strimmer again!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,284 ✭✭✭wyndham


    Hydraulic Log Splitter. Awesome to watch. Mesmerising.

    Yep! I think you've nailed it with the hammer!

    I used to work with a fitter who seemed to use a hammer (or slegehammer) for most jobs. His surname is Mangan, but I successfully renamed him 'Mangle'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,718 ✭✭✭johnayo


    If you have a big nail, you'll need a big hammer.:P

    Well I don't really use them but I've started getting a bit of separation anxiety with a screwdriver that I lent the neighbour a few weeks ago and she still hasn't returned it. I hate having to ask for it back!

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I like my circular saw. But speaking from experience, never use it to cut plasterboard!

    I have a survival saw, pretty ****ing class. But don't think it's going to come in handy anytime soon, unless I get marooned on a south pacific island.

    Not sure if you can technically refer to it as a tool, but I bought one of those Takker yokes in Woodies recently and it's worked a treat. So the pictures in my hall are no longer on the floor casually leaning against the walls anymore they are actually hanging on the walls ;-)

    Cable ties and an rj45 crimper.

    I'd say most tools would find that association with Kenny to be pretty insulting.

    This faithful companion resides in the small pocket on my Snickers workpants. Leatherman Supertool 300. Got it as a present about 3 yrs ago. Wouldn't leave home without it now.
