The brain is a tool, is it not?
I'd say it's much more versatile and powerful than the others mentioned.

The trouble with the brain, of course, is the difficulty involved in cutting stuff with it.

Believe me, I've tried.

My team seems to always be murdering eachother over the drill, rivet gun, and jig saw.
My personal fave would have to be the hacksaw, although I should make the tape measure a good friend too. . .

OOOOOOOPS!!!!

hmmm... not just leatherman, but *multi tool*
i have the buck-tool, which is my best friend even in the offseason. some of the other team members carry mini-lethermans on their keychains, while a select few of us have the much more useful full sized multi-tools

Our team dubbed the leatherman the Pocket Jesus and even the mormon kid uses that name!
Also we named the short screw drivers Stubby Phil and Stubby Stan for phillips and standard (but i don't know if we made that up or not).

But I seriously think that the 4-40 nuts (especially the ones with nylon inserts) are just plain CUTE! They're tho iddy biddy and thweet!! does anyone agree with me?

Unfortunately, my school district and its zero tolerance policy would have a heart attack and lock me away for all of eternity if I carried a *gasp* sharp object to school. But the leatherman is darn useful

Talking Fav. Tools

ok my fav. tools must be (not in any order)
-dremel (i like my own more then my schools machine shops')
-manual mills
-manual lathes
-cnc mills
-cnc lathe

and last but not least at school we have an industrial dremel, i sware it must weigh 10 lbs and its not a dremel company tool but it does the same as a dremel does, but at an industrial rate.

Also i love our sheet metal shear and brake, how else do you get a piece of lexan bent to 90 degrees by hand in 2 mins.

Our fearless leader found some really nifty wire strippers at a garage sale. 3 for $5. Super cool, and because I subscribe to the EarthBound style of naming, it's officially called the Deluxe Wire Strippers. They grab, cut, and strip small gauge wires with a single motion! Can even intimidate small freshmen!

i'd say that the most useful tools on our team this year are
1)7/16 wrench/wratcet of any kind
2)the 1/4 20 tap (man Gary could tap all day)
3)anything used to cut i mean anything (we have a pearing knife in the tool box) well not the band saw it don't cut straight so everything else
4)the dremel is cool (it sparks with everything)
5)we got this awesome angle drill geared way down man that thing got some power
6)i personally like the rubber mallet i can just smack thiungs with it all day and never get tired

Cool The manuel CNC Bridgeport

Ours was definitly the Manuel CNC Bridgeport and the 15 axis Manuel NC Lathe!! Truthfully though, the Cray Super Computer became unusually usefull when trying to package the big block chevy we used to power the drivetrain. Of course you can't forget the 32 handed Freshman powerfile!! That really saved our cans!

1) AutoCad Inventor - to figure out what I'm building should look like
2) NASTRAN - to figure out if what I'm building will break
3) CNC Mill - esp when Rick V is running it. He plays a mill like Heifitz plays a violin. Besides it makes a pretty good drill press too! If necessary an manual will do most times.
4) lathe - i love to watch the chips fly
5) Datco - a dremmel on steroids
6) band saw - too much work to cut 1" stock by hand
