Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
screws and screwdrivers.
Have any of you read One Good Turn? In it the author that screws and screwdrivers were the most important tool of the last millenium. I was disbelieving until I read the book. Without the screw, there would be no printing press, no clocks, no sewing machines, no guns.
It's pretty amazing.
I love my hammer. It's a solid metal handle that is cut from the same piece as the head with a balanced rubber grip on it, and the neck of the handle is tapered so that it's anti-vibration.
I just realized my hammer is far too high tech.
I have a Craftsman Pro cordless drill. It is great. The first real cordless drill I have owned.
Another fantastic tool, the rotary saw.

Essential for powertool-related homicides.
You know what is also oddly useful? A rubber mallet.
Extremely. On tech crew we used to refer to it as the "fine tuner" and it got used quite often.
At home I have a hammer, a screwdriver set, various pliers and a cheap socket wrench set in my car. I suddenly realize I am very tool-deprived. On the other hand, my landlord does all the household repairs so I don't often need tools.
Essential for powertool-related homicides.
It's also handy for cutting lots of boards. Besides I don't need powertools for violence, I have an ax and a large pipe wrench.
