Oh boy, you are right on ..

I got the Bosch lithium 10v impactor and I was shocked how well that sucker works and how quickly it charges. I actually go out of my way to find projects I can use it on.

Then I had to get the i-driver (I constantly grab it in place of a screwdriver now), then I had to get the flashlight, driver/drill is next .. might as well complete the full line!

Have you tried using the Impactor on your lug nuts? I always have wondered if the battery units could remove a lug nut.....

I like Plasti-Dip. Great stuff for fixing squeeky parts - plastic rubbing, etc.

Plus .. metrix wrenches that are color coded for size plus have racketing built in the closed end.

Cordless Dewalt Sawzall with extra long blade is fun.

All kinds of lights - with LEDs so they last and last ...

Square-drive screwdrivers, bits and screws ..... vs everything else

Beer

Heat Gun ... and shrink tubing .. new to that ... it is fun!!! I found myself 'heating' things ... removing stickers .. it works

JB WELD!!!! Damn - it works - it is cheap~~!! Use it to Weld a friend's garage door down ... recommended!!!

MR HEATER --- propane indoor heater ... great to keep me warm when working in the FJ or when power goes out ...

ROOMBA!!! Learned about him here! Works! Pisses off my cat. A two-fer.
Hooray Beer! That's my favorite tool too

Coming from the world of film & television, Gaffers Tape, the non-stick cloth tape cousin to Duct Tape. Let's not forget the ol stand by my original Leatherman tool, I have a military issue flat black with a blasting cap pincher.
Tools are cool.

Rubber strap wrench. Great on filters, pipes, and whatever clumsy items that I need to hold.

I have to disagree with you on these. Strap wrenches are OK but those flimsy rubber bands just dont do it. If you have something that tight where you need a lot of torque, this just doesnt do it. Im assuming you can open a jar of pickles with your hands.

Yes, I did buy the set before and broke both the straps the first and second time I tried to use them. These are for broads! Just look at the hands in the pic.... those arent man hands.

Re: Cool Tools (info and ratings)

If you take your woodworking seriously, the lineup from Festool is excellent. I have a 6" sander, 5" Rotex sander, Vac, Domino joiner and circular saw with aluminum guide rails. More will be added as needed. The guys on Tommy's crew on This Old House have been showing some of these off as well.

As duct tape goes, Gorilla Tape kicks butt.

This one would not do lug nuts .. but darn near everything else around the house and shop. I believe it is rated at 800 in lb.
