Not really tools, but this year we found several heavy chunks of metal in our room. The largest of these chunks had a printed label on it, naming it "The Negotiator."

The hacksaw is named Sal, the wire stripper is called Shanaynay and the crimper is named Sheniqua. Sheniqua is the older sister of Shanaynay. Also...our angle grinder is named Big Red(it's big and it's red...and dangerous). Friedchickenisha is the jigsaw and our mini hacksaw it's called Ralph.

oooo, I've got a couple.

Auto Body Hammer: Baby
Old Deadblow Hammer: The Persuader
New Deadblow Hammer: The Alternate Persuader
18 inch Crescent Wrench: Bertha (always said in a manly voice, must be carried over the shoulder).
Old tool box filled with random stuff: Miscellaneous Crap Box (you can find one of everything in here! )
Old computer in the corner: NDOL (Not Deserving Of Love).
Old CAD Laptop: The Craptop
Harbor Freight: Horror Fright (Or Nathanmart)
Tool box next to the mill: Kyle's box of magical wonders! (shortened to Kyle's Box).

Our pit is now called "The Purple Fortress" after we overheard another team refer to it that way.


Naturally there are many more that would be... untasteful to share on a public forum

I forgot that computers are tools.

We named our first Classmate "The Baby". The netbook that replaced it was "Lil' Sis". Our new driver station laptop is "Big Sis". Our very old seldomly used programming laptops are now dubbed "The Craptops", with their overstuffed bag that's been tearing for 6ish years dubbed "The Craptop Bag".

[Mr V]

Kandi is our wire stripper.
