I love hammers. I have four, plus a couple of rubber mallets. Two of them have beautiful leather washer wrapped handles. I got those for 50% off when a local hardware chain went out of business.
Actually, I just love tools.
I'll be in my bunk.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I've got a cordless drill. Old Makita, from back when they were still making good ones.
I also recently got a laser level. Very cool tool.

I love that Makita. I'd try and lay hold of one of those, but I seriously doubt anyone who has one is willing to part with it.

It's about 10 years old now. They've not made that model in a long time. I'm gonna be heatbroken when the batteries finally die on me.
I'll probably switch to a DeWalt, although amazingly enough, Panasonic makes a great cordless drill, it's just hard to find.

Driving home now. Wish me no slipping and no collisions.

My Makita cordless drill is about the same age, and appears to be pining for the fjords, although it could just be that the batteries are completely toast. I got a Craftsman to replace it which works great. I also have a 30 year-old corded Craftsman. (Which reminds me that I lent it to Ellen S a year ago, and haven't seen hide nor hair of it since...)

Art Crawl!!!
I have many many hammers and a selection of screw drivers and an electric drill and a couple of wrenches and pliers (including canvas pliers).
I need a saw.
Sadly, none of my tools are pink. Oh, and I don't have a toolbox so they are placed fairly randomly in drawers or on shelves in my apartment.

There's a company here in burbank that will rebuild old batteries. When mine dies I may find out how much it would be to replace the nicad cells in them.

I just bought my first power tool--a Black&Decker cordless screwdriver. It's not much, but it comes in handy when you have to put up blinds in the bedroom.

I got mine for my birthday a few years ago. I also have a nice hefty hammer that I think came from the Starbucks I used to work at. I can never keep track of my screwdrivers, though.
Ooh, staple gun. Not that it gets much use, but it's fun to know that I have.
