I love tools, hammers, flat screw drivers and phillips, gas pliers, adjustable pliers, i even love that small Z shaped screw driver with the bent ends, one for slotted screws and one for phillips.

I don't think they are use full, but someone invented them and that's coolenough to own one

i love my radial arm saw, my skill saw, i used to have a skill saw with the motor on the left until a carpenter told me, since i was right handed, i should get one with the motor on the right so i can see the

blade and follow my line easier.

i love my drill press and my band saw. i don't like hand saws, but my son got me one from japan that is for small cutting and that blows the dust away as you saw.

if you ever changed brake linings in the 50's, you'll know what a spring spreader is. I still have one somewhere in the garage. since my kids moved away i don't have anyone to put the3 tools back, so i pile them on any flat surface.

i also have my father's side cutters with the notch in one side. it was used to strip insulation from 12 or 14 gage wire. cut through just the insulation, turn the side cutters around the wire, grasp the top and pull the insulation off.

my son ross and i are tool nuts and we give each other strange tools that we may never use, but it's good to have. i have a 1" table band sander.

the table on my 6" joiner planner is a bit rusty but i used it when i used to make frames, assemble them and make bird cages for finches, canaries and other small birds.

last time i was at home depot i bought an open tool carrier 9 X 14, with pockets all around. i never use it because i always think the two tools i take with me to fix something will be enough.

i know there is nothing in the constitution about the right to own tools, but there are no laws against it.

i do have two smith and wesson 38 revolvers that i sometimes shot a box of cartridges through once or twice a year. i am a fairly decent shot, usually grouping within the first or second ring around the bullseye.. not as good as most of you gun enthusiasts but good enough to hit something i aim at in an indoor range.

the thing that is puzzling me is the tea parties. if i go i am supposed to go armed, but i never take my pistols out of the house unless i am going to a shooting range.

so the question is what tools should i pack in my tool carrier, to demonstrate how important and how much i love my tools.

I love my tool too.

but her goddamn threads went the other way

Thanks jade...

I must say you're one of the biggest tools I've ever ran across.

Ron

Tools are awesome......I seriously have a problem buying tools.

With the proper tools, materials, and time, a man can get any job done... There's a fine line however between tackling a job that one can finish satisfactorily and one where the lack of skill produces a diminished return (results vs time).

Rick, you've reminded me about the importance of family as well.
