    I hav a number of faves, firstly my Black & Decker Pro Hammer drill, still going strong after 12 odd years of sustained use. Then my bike multitool, permenantly fixed to either of my mountainbikes. Also my full set of stonemasons chissels, did some time as an apprentice monumental mason.

    Ratchet screwdriver and about 100 different heads for it, yet to find a screw to challenge my set.

    Billhook, scythe and a splitting maul for the firewood

    Oh and the chainsaw

    My teeny weeny screwdriver, the ONLY thing that will screw the fiddly screws in an Alpha.

    And my Halfords ratchet set with everything under the sun. (Inc about 2 half used AS3's and a ton of case / fan screws.)

    Got my blue phillips screwdriver which seems to fit everything and its magnetic which is useful for picking screws out of cases.

    My favourite tool however is one we hired from hss some time ago to top the tree's in our back garden.........a massive petrol chainsaw, I had some fun that day

    I love petrol chainsaws and hedgetrimmers. They go through anything like butter. Certainly make your arms ache like hell after a while though!

    V8 chainsaw looks sick!

    Id have to say my fave tool (before i lost it!) was a stanly pozidriver - twas a tiny thing that was probably the most usefull thing for getting around inside a PC.

    Im not sure what the vauxall reverable screwdriver is like, but ive had a texas/texaco (cant rem which and cant check since i lost this aswell) which did everything, bit was a shame that it couldn't get in tight areas.

    The only thing i havent lost is my circular saw, but I cant think of a (constructive) way of using it on my PC.
