Thread: What's your favorite power tool?

Thanks for the great replies everybody! Geezer, thanks especially for all your help. I either use the clear cellophane double stick tape after cleaning with acetone (this works really really well), or I use rubber cement with aluminum "pins" through the pin holes. The aluminum sands away very well, and I have about 3ft of it that I won't ever use for anything else.

Dremmel is number one with a flexable shaft.
Buffer is next.
Small drill press is handy too.

its all in the stand. bolt that sucker to your work bench, no vibration. we have a big nice stand-alone dewalt one now, but we started out with a cheap(ish) dremel benchtop and it did shake around until we bolted it down.

I love my wife! My b-day is tomorrow and I came home to find a large present sitting in the living room. I get to open it up today since I wont see her the rest of the week as she is house-sitting for her parents for the week. She bought me a 10" Miter saw! What a woman, where some wives would shun buying a power tool for their husbands and go for something practical like clothes, my wife buys me a sweet saw! Oh, and a razor! It's got some sort of Rabbit etched on the tang, and the initials T.B. I think.

Sweet birthday present!

That rocks!

Last Thanksgiving at Sears I saw an elderly couple leaving the tool area, and the woman asked the man, either because her love was truly limitless or because she already knew the answer, "Honey, are you sure there's nothing you want here?"
