Popular Mechanics lists 50 tools everyone should own. I put a check next to any that I have:

1. Sledgehammer 2. Centre Punch 3. Putty Knife ✔ 4. Safety Glasses ✔ 5. Adjustable Wrench ✔ 6. Pipe Wrench 7. Socket Wrench Set ✔ 8. Metal File ✔ 9. Combination Square 10. Combination Wrench ✔ 11. Bow Saw 12. Jigsaw 13. Coping Saw 14. Side-Cutting Pliers ✔ 15. Hacksaw ✔ 16. Crosscut Saw ✔ 17. Snips ✔ 18. Round nose Shovel ✔ 19. Needle-Nose Pliers ✔ 20. Drill ✔ 21. Drill Bits ✔ 22. Locking Pliers ✔ 23. Level ✔ 24. Circular Saw ✔ 25. Spray Lube ✔ 26. Tape Rule ✔ 27. Hammer ✔ 28. Dust Mask 29. Nail Set 30. Machinist Vise 31. Wood Chisel 32. Chalk Line 33. Allen Wrench ✔ 34. Earmuffs ✔ 35. Flashlight ✔ 36. Bow Rake 37. Volt/Ohmmeter ✔ 38. Cold Chisel 39. Ball-Peen Hammer 40. Multi-bit Screwdriver ✔ 41. Goose neck Bar 42. Utility Knife ✔ 43. Pry Bar 44.

Check, check, check. Got 'em all. Just give me a call if you need to borrow a tool from a real man Karl [grin]

Sorry Bernie. Real men don't need to own every tool. They just need to know other men who will lend them.

Thanks, bud.
