I like my extension ladder, until you mix it with a paint brush. Then it becomes the devil.

I'm starting to re-think my relationship with my PorterCable Model 503 belt sander. The worm gear ate the brass pinion for lunch the other day. My tech bench looks like an exploded parts diagram!

Wow, my 81 Blazer lasted me for 20 plus years and then I gave it to some kids who wanted to restore it to it's classic looks.

Worse tool? Any flat tip screw driver.

Most scary tool? How about a shaper utilizing the old slip collars with profile knives with no locking parts? Watch one of those babies go shooting across the room and through (completely) the garage wall. Just about wet myself!

Best piece of equipment? The powered feeder for any woodworking machine. I had my garage rewired and brought in transformers just so I could get more of those beauties!

The one I didn't realize I needed the last time I went down 2 storys to the trailer.

Or the one I got out and set down on the bench in the trailer but didn't bring back up the ladder with me

And any tool used to move or dig dirt or stone manually.

Any size paint brush and Paslode Cordless Framing nailer. I have had it serviced more than once, I only use Paslode nails, and the damn thing still misfires constantly.

Scariest tool is my circa 1950 Rockwell mil-spec worm gear 8 1/2 inch, with a lefty set up. The shoe is on the wrong side! This saw has taken bits and pieces off of a couple people back when it was my dads. But it will cut a 4 x 4, so I keep it around.
