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.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Essential for powertool-related homicides.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.

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.

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

That's a chain saw.
Using a rotary saw would be like killing someone with a Dremel tool.

Gud, are you sure you're not talking about a circular saw? A rotary saw is more like a router.
