"Must have" tools

[Ira]

Yeah, but it's nice to start with and end with the same number of digits..........................whether they be thumbs or fingers.............

Hey, I react differently to this now:

Who was the member here who's friend recently lost a finger helping him? I know you didn't mean anything by it, but man, was that ever a bummer to hear.

Tony ,what about the opposing thumbs ???? Kinda handy to have with 8 fingers!

Boodro--you're right, I should have made the distinction so that no one would think I am some type of 10 fingered 2 thumbed freak. Oops--that's not PC. Sorry to all those 10 fingered 2 thumbed freaks out there!

Besides, our thumbs are the only reason that our dogs let us be the master. If they had thumbs, they could open doors and cans of food and would have no use for us. We would be dog food!

So, my amended list--2 eyes, 8 fingers, 2 thumbs, all my toes, and a wish for a third arm and hand to help when I am building stuff! (Note the thumb====>)

Boy, can I relate to the "help" comment. I work in a one-man custom furniture shop and sometimes things like desks and diningroom tables get to large and heavy for one person to handle..............especially around delivery time!!!!!

Bent-nose pliers. More uses than you can think of, and often the only tool that will do them:

Most important tool is the computer through which we stream music. Mrs. Dog and I need the radio playing in the garage while we work.
