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.

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.

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.
Mr. H is in the middle of rebuilding his bike, so besides the normal drills and wrenches and stuff we have a welder and a cutting torch, and will soon have a drill press and an air compressor.
