It gets used for multiple jobs every single day I'm flooring. It's bloody awesome.

Think mine was from axminster too, its been in my pocket for a bloody long time though. I was on a job where a friend broke his, he just went quiet and for a moment a thought he might cry.

It just works. Drills through anything. Neatly and with no fuss.

Hand tools

An old adjustable wrench I inherited from my Grandad. It's US made and, according to [url= http://jeepdraw.com/G503_TOOLS-6.html ]this website[/url], it seems to date from pre-WWII!

Old tools are definitely better - I've got a bunch of pre-WWII Speetog clamps and they're wonderful things I use all the time:

Also for some unusual compound-lever pliers that can get a lot of force into a small space, really handy - not sure how old they are, but the patent stamp says 1890. And my standard workshop hammer is one I found at the side of the road - another advantage to cycling to work 🙂

Well it's electronic - but still a tool to me - a smart charger /discharger for most li-ion / lipo / Ni-cad's / Pb - etc:
