The Best Tool You Own
I have a bunch of tools. This Fiskars long pole cutter is pretty good though. It has an 8-foot pole on it, cuts anything up to about an inch like butter. Noticed the driveway looked like Vietnam this morning, cut it back in an hour, took me two hours to clear away the debris. Good tool.

@the angry Canadian: hm. I don't think so?
I mean, I own tools on the internet for a living, but this was supposed to be about actual tools that you use to accomplish an actual task.
Or not. As you wish.

If you were going to restrict me to one, I'd have to say, Stinkfist.

Best?
Best as in most used: Milwaukee impact driver or Hitachi chop saw. Both with great stamina and used nearly weekly.
Best as in most versatile: Milwaukee multi tool or dewalt angle grinder. I've done things I'm ashamed of with both those things.
Best as in marriage maintenance: Apathy.

After reading this thread I started my landscape list for the shop, put a 4 wheeler w/plow on the top of the list. Going to look at an 05 Kawasaki Brute Force 750 on Sunday, unless somehow the maggot contingency can tell me otherwise.
(I also put those fiskar pruners on my list, although I only found them in 14 foot.)

I'll go with bodywhomper on this one; gotta be the skis. They are elegant, functional, and a load of fun. Close second is my Husky 550.

Tie- between impact driver, I have several, how did I manage to live without one; and the dust collector that showed up yesterday. Much more pleasant to thickness boards without chips hitting me in the face and not having huge piles of chips in the shop.
