Thread: Most satisfying tool use

I would have to say the stihl 66magnum. When you rescue a dead tree from the dozers or the firewood merchant and expose some of the natural goodness - purely sublime!!!!!

I could use a mulcher to finish some of the projects I have worked on!

Grunt, I have the 4.5 hp model and I'd have to agree. Just one word of advice. If you con SWMBO into helping out make sure she doesnt have the secatures in her hands when putting the stuff into the chute...:eek:

So if you feed mulch in when it's in reverse, you get a tree out the other end. Fantastic! The greens will love this!

The lawnmower.

I don't really enjoy using it (nor dislike), but I do love the look of smooth, flat, neat looking grass when I'm finished.


For this to work, your state needs to have rain.

Well it would if it was trees you were feeding into it.....But I didn't get my secatures back in one piece..... and still nobody has seen the neighbours cat

I will add my vote to the mulcher, I have one and enjoy using it. My grandfather got one and got into severe trouble, he went around their yard looking for extra things to put in it and got some things that my grandmother did not want as mulch.

For me it's a toss up, between any of my chainsaws (but I do so luv the 372xp...well balanced beautiful little saw) and 32,000 rpm die grinder.
However the mulcher is fairly satisfying and does clean up after the saw .

Ummm.....2 Glock 17 9mm Handguns with 10 magazines loaded to the hilt.
Vidoe camera running.
Doing the shoot until dry...reload and continue until all mags are empty.
Just like bruce willis in the movie with the 45 autos ( can't remember the name of the movie)

Then watch the video and laugh my guts out at the crazy bloke (me)dropping mags everywhere.
Hooroo.

A piece of twisted steel sharpened at one end, with a lever device at the other. Placed on the intended object and turned with sufficient downward pressure to start biting. Continue to turn 3 or 4 times and then pull backwards strongly. Pop.

Its a bloody corkscrew of course.

Tis no greater satisfaction than the sound as you lift the end of the church key

So often I use the easiest tool or try to cut corners and end up being moderately happy with the outcome for the time/effort it took. But every now and then I use the right tool for the job and do it in the right way and it turns out looking great. Isit back with a smug little smile on my face and think "I did a really good job there". All the OK jobs are the ones that pay for them-selves. They're the ones you do that make it worth doing yourself rather than paying a professional. But the ones where you do it properly and get a great finish, as good as any professional could have done, are the ones make the whole journey we went through rise above the mere cost saving aspects.
