    Hi all, last few weeks been so boring, I've been looking for new tools to play with, there is just nothing new released. I am done with VS 13, well looking forward for 14 (already done with VS 14 preview) Done with Windows' new OS of-course (Was looking forward for 8.2, but it just don't have much exiting they pushed it to 9 or so called threshold :( ) I check code project every day in hopes to get to know something new, exiting. but there is just nothing, or I think there is nothing. Help me.... :(

      This is fun: Good Tool[^] As is this: Better Tool[^] And these are always good at parties: Seriously Good Tool[^] But this is the most flexible tool in my toolbox: Flexible Tool[^]

        I don't think you can call yourself a man until you've used a one of these[^].

          I have a couple of those, for different ranges. One of these helps as well: Breaker bar[^] And one of these can be a godsend! http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/clarke-cat110-half-inch-air-impact-wrench[^]

            I tool own a breaker bar - left over from my Spitfire when I wanted to upgrade the fixed type seatbelt to the interia type one. Always been wary of impact wrenches - mostly working with old, rusty nuts and always worried they'd strip them. Plus I'm too cheap to get the compressor necessary for air-tools.

              The compressor is expensive to buy, yes - but then it does the job of a lot of electric motors and batteries. And the air version of the tool is generally a lot cheaper than the electric type, and in my experience works a lot, lot better. And you can use it to blow dust out of things! :laugh:
