Personally i'm torn between the classic Stirrup Pump

http://www.london-fire.gov.uk/Images/Stirrup_pump.jpg

and the Garden Flame Thrower.

http://www.grizzlycentral.com/forum/attachments/great-outdoors/6145d1248574752-what-coolest-tool-you-have-flamethrower09.jpg

I'm not sure which i'd rather own, just for the sake-of-owning-one.

( I think the flamethrower is edging it - tho in my dream i'm floating down lordship lane in a canoe during a flood, I see that well know Dub-Duo bobbing along in their silly truck but they've snagged them selves on a lampost outside the ED Deli. The not bald one is trying to fish a soggy loaf out of the flood water with a colander on a stick, he panics and tries to hide under the damp tonneau cover. But too late, I pull the Garden-Flame-Thrower up and pump the trigger - and a 40ft flame licks across the water, torching the sound system and truck into dust. And as I float by the not bald one & the nearly bald one bob in the murky water - eyes blinking, smarting from the heat - all in slow mo.

"Why" they mouth

"Why not, it's my dream" I mouth back, giving the trigger one last blast & setting the hanging basket on the lampost alight..)

I kind of like the flame thrower too.

Favourite tool I own....

Tool I had the chance to try out (but declined) a week ago at a certain 'ladies' Party............ :D

A Laser Level, with added bonus that if you're on a dusty and dark building site and suffer a sudden Ecstasy flashback, cue instant warehouse party...

My tool of choice is a big feck-off cleaver that I use for almost all cutting in the kitchen, I'll post a photo later.

I swear by the mean Mother, which has chopped and peeled its way through many a beast and vegetable, and also the odd finger. Still sharp after 15 years. Bought in NE Thailand.

Also cuts Japanese knotweed and carpet underlay.

how do you sharpen it?

[KidKruger]

Hood question - however I've Never sharpened it. Could be part of reason why I got a cut off it last week.

[*Bob*]

I got me one of these. Shrubs and small trees quake with fear.

And blonde hitch-hikers *Bob*?

[*Bob*]

No - I prefer to imprison them in the basement.

[PeckhamRose]

My bike.

[david_carnell]

C'mon PR - that's not a tool. Someting to fix the bike perhaps?

Anyway, I'd nominate two things. First, a polishing mitt - keeps shoes shinier than ever before:

And then something I desire - an adze. It's like a curved axe used for hollowing out wood. You can make a bowl or a canoe.

I am getting tool envy now. My collection is all very ordinary, range of screwdrivers, spanners, allan keys, hammer, drill, saw, tape measure etc.

I need power tools!

[PeckhamRose]

Nope I stand by it. My bike is a tool. It tools along; it's a tool for getting me from A to B.

[*Bob*]

I am quite fond of my surform rasp - a low-level entry into the sub-?2 category.

[DJKillaQueen]

You're a genius David

That's the canoe in my dream surely.

(watch out the pesky dub-duo, dreams can come true!)

[uncleglen]

That flame thrower would be very handy if there were any more riots but it's probably illegal in a public place-

[DJKillaQueen]

Crikey....that's some switch blade you're packing there uncle ;)
