Man tools
Thanks to the magic of ebay I now have a lovely MIG welder to join the angle grinder in my Big Cupboard of Man Stuff (cunningly disguised as a garage). Just need to learn how to use the sodding thing now.
Next up - Chainsaw (Don't actually know what I'd use it for but I think every man should have one)

Justable spanners are present in 4, 8 and 12 inch versions, although seldom used.MartDude wrote:Get yourself the biggest adjustable spanner you can afford - a bloody great big Bahco is a thing of beauty and joy.
'Tis a very good tool but I think the angle grinder better fits the true essence of a man tool - driven by mechanical power (be it electrickery or petrol) and often complete overkill for the job in hand, oh, and the bigger the better.Nooj wrote:You can't beat a decent hacksaw.
Also forgot to mention the petrol powered pressure washer - worthy of a mention as it has an engine attached

These are a must for anything that requires overkill from pushbike spindle nuts upwards

I have one, probably from the same supplier as you, backmarker (Man at Q and M?) and it forms the main item in my toolbox arsenal. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing with immense overkill.

Any tool with a small, noisy, 2 stroke engine, is, by default, a man tool.
And that includes hedge trimmers, Jennies, grinders, chainsaws, lawnmowers, brushcutters, and so on.
If you have to put premix in it it belongs to a man.
(Awaits a flaming from the ladies.)

I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?
I have recently organised the Snap-On man to come and visit me at my place of work. I am buying a spanner a week. So I am starting at 7mm and going to 19mm....twice. I've already got a few of the main sizes we use and just want to complete the set.
I've had set of sockets and a ratchet (8mm to 19mm)since 1990 and they are still as good now as they were then (they have had some abuse in the 20 years of ownership)
Snap-On for me all the way.
