    My absolute favorite is my Labounty msd7r shear. It mounts on my skid steer. I can turn a perfectly good piece of machinery into a pile of junk in a matter of minutes. My second favorite is my handheld bandsaw, they sure are handy for cleaning brass valves and such.

    Finally wore out my $20 HF grinder after 3 or 4 some years. Actually, it still works. Just been dropped/dragged so many times the case broke. Going to see if I can rig something up and attach it to the wall and use a foot switch for cutting bundles of wire/harnesses, etc.

    Went to get another one and browsed some other tools. Bought a few, one being spring loaded wire cutters. Dunno why I never thought to get one before, but they really help. Not as sharp as I'd like, but it works.

    Hey Spin, you know they sell a thing that you can put in the chuck of your electric screwdriver so all you have to do pull a bit out and stick another in. It takes me about 2 seconds to change bits. I have two cordless screwdrivers, one I use while the other is being charged. Got them both from walmart for 20.00ea.

    That's another thing I picked up. A 12" hex extension. Haven't found anything it couldn't reach.
