You boys and your fancy tools.
I trying to get me one of those round To-Its. I've heard you can do anything and everything with them, from electrical soldering to body work,,,,,,,that is, if you ever get one.
I WANT ONE SOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!

We use them at work. Both the compact and full size impacts. The 9.0 batteries they have out last forever. We have a sds hammer drill 1/2 in. With that 9.0 battery i can drill about 50 1/2in holes 10 inches deep before i need a recharge

All the wrecker operators swear by the Milwaukee Fuel M18. Rated at 1100lb of nut buster torque. To damn expensive for me for a tool that could get lost or stolen. My Craftsman C3 19.2V has worked great for 99.9% of the cars I've changed tires on and it's 2 years old and gets charged about every 10-14 days. Got it on sale for $129 and when it goes ***'s up, I'll buy another one.

Two nice CDI Inch-pound torque wrenches. 0-30 1/4" & 0-300 3/8".
The brag sheets claim 4% ASME B107 calibration tolerance. FWIW CDI is a Snap ON brand.
My old cheap 0-75 in-lb beam wrench sprouted legs when my much younger stepbrother borrowed it for an afternoon wrenching session on his Harley. He's trustworthy. His buddies... He paid me back in cash for what it was worth when he couldn't find it. He agrees that buddies like that aren't worth keeping.

Got a pair of these sawhorse/workbench thingies for my painting project. I haven't used the vise yet but its definitely convenient having an adjustable top to put things on.

When I was a kid, my mom used to carve them out of a piece of birch branch, coat them in stain and then hand them to dad every time he started to balk at the honey-do list, lol.
Sort of looked like this...

Looking at grabbing a brake drum tool kit. In the past I've always borrowed my dad's but I'm getting the urge to just get my own as I'm getting ready to do the brakes on my '99 and would rather have my own set rather than always borrowing them when I need them.

How is it that if you buy your wife a new fancy vacuum cleaner or a new pressure cooker for a birthday gift you get hung from a tree and set on fire, but when we get tools to fix their **** we're happy as a lark?

That's true, but it took many birthdays of socks and dress shirts to get to this.
