TOOL - Power and Hand Tools

In the intrest of keeping things interesting around here I would like to hear any recommendations you may have about tools. All sorts of tools: from levels to scaffold wrenches....skil saws to hand saw...cordless tools to corded tools. I know everyone has a favorite but I wonder if you can explain why.

    I actually have been getting after people for over torquing clamps and crimping the tubes. Some people don't realize why the handle on a scaffold wrench is so short.

    Justin,

    They seem to think the more the clamps scream, the better.  They do not understand torque or what over torquing does to the threads and to the tubes.
