I figured these were more tools that mechanic types would have. I don't have any large woodworking tools. Just carpenter portables like a circular saw, sabre saw, etc.

I really get off on my metal lathe but it wasn't on the list.

I've seen it a couple of times, funny stuff! Gotta love those Canadian comedies (like SCTV).

I voted BFH of all the ones listed. Have a little baby hammer too, but size matters! But my favorite (that I can mention here) is my Router. I'm liking my old fashioned hand draw-knife too, but I'd still have to go with the router.

Since we're on the subject of tools, when I got divorced 13 years ago, I told everyone I wanted tools for Christmas! I mean, all the tools were his and I let him take the majority of them. (Kept me a BFH though lol) So I got a jigsaw, circular saw, screwdrivers, etc. Got some laughs, but it was awesome.

When I met my current husband, he said he knew he had to marry me when we were working on something and he said he wished he had his line-level and some Tapcons. I said "I have both!"

Heh heh...I think my wife would know what Tapcons are.

MY Second favorite Tool is my mini-mag flashlight. You can guess at the first...lol
Im surprised noone else has mentioned the flashlight.
Check the gas, oil, battery, loose connections, look for lost parts/bolts/washers/ect. Never leave home without it.
Even got one of those hand crank types in the saddle bags for emergencies.

Multi tip screw drivers with the bit in the handle are nice as well as the lowly cresant wrench.
Lets not forget the tire pressure gauge and the 12v air compressor either...lol
