Don't know where it started, but calling the tools by the names we give them is more fun than saying, bring us laptop #2.

Hey, don't forget that all of our boxcutters are Stanleys. Also, I don't think you were around for the best Laptop name - alas, poor Yorick!
Of course, there was also that bizarre tool which no one could identify which saw much (improvised) use in fixing the 2008 AndyMark mecanum wheels (anyone here remember those? Oh boy...), which eventually became known only as "the fix-y thingy."
