it's shopping time! What is your favorite power tool?
 

I love my Hilti SF 121-A

It has incredible precision and ergonomics. For example, it can drill through wood, dry wall, and handbags equally well.

For those needing help with power tool selection, this handy music video features useful information on a variety of items.

We used a lathe like this in sophomore year of high school. I made myself a hammer.

Nice.

People would like you so much more if you would just post stuff like this.

Dont make me post links to William Hung. :p

I just sent the first link to a girl in the office. This is going to be funny.

Edited to add: "They didn't have it at Exeter, but at my other school they did. This is gross!"

She's small I know but it fits my girl sized hands the best.

I have a pink tool set and an electric drill.

:eek: :eek:
This makes me think Barbie came to life.

Yup thats the one

I have been using a screw gun lately. It's older than I am, but it works well.

I want pink power tools. :)

I have only the slightest clue as to what's called what, but I did rebuild my kitchen with my dad - AND I know the first two rules of plumbing! :)


Seriously, I know that my tools are Craftsman, that there's a drill with a series of bits, a power screwdriver, a power saw with a mitre box, and I think it's a sander?

I love this thread....

after my divorce my dad took me to Home Depot and loaded me up on tools i would need around the house because a certain butthead loser ex husband took everything including a hammer......

But i have found my metal red tool box has my favorite tool:

the green colored dual battery pack black and decker multi purpose screw driver with many heads

my home depot hammer

complete set of phillips screw drivers and flat heads

*lol*

I have a pink tool set too!!!

My favorite tool on GC is ... Rudey! :D

Wow . . . you are a retard

I have a purse-looking toolbox and a hammer with a painted handle. I don't really need power tools here, but like Rudith, I did take shop, and my favorite power tools included the orbital sander and the bigass lathes.

Take your pills psycho.

Can't live without my Dremel & Flexi-shaft attachment. And my Mouse sander.

This is a collection of must-haves.

There is even one named after Decadence.

Dremel is good stuff. I've thought about getting one, but I don't really need it. If I get into wood working, I'll definitely get one.

What type of sander do you have?

I'm a craftsman woman myself-must haves include a CORDLESS Drill and circular saw set, and I paint the handles hot pink so the boys know they are MINE! I have a matching hot-pink tool belt with my craftsman basics (hammer, phillips-head,cordless hand sander,measuring tape) and hot-pink edged safety glasses. I dipped the handles of the basic tools in hot-pink paint too.

Before I colored everything pink, my hubby would borrow and things wouldn't be where I needed them when I needed them.

Heat Guns
 

Anyone have a heat gun?

I need one for shrinkwrap tubing.

I only buy power tools that come with their own cases, so this is knocking out several models from consideration.

I would like an LCD or LED readout, but this seems to only be available in models over $100.

I'm not going to remove paint, or anything else that needs it to hit 1,500º

I have only bought contractor grade tools, but it looks like I'm going to make an exception to keep the cost down.

After consideration, I'm leaning to the Black & Decker HG1000K

http://tinypic.com/b8jkl

It lists for $55. It can be had on eBay for $30.

Does anyone have experience with this model, or any others?

Makita belt sander.

it smoooooths.
