Gorgeous? Did you say gorgeous? I most certainly am not and, oh my god, boo hoo, sob wildly, oh my GOD- that's what my ex used to call me about four hours after I got up in the mornings. Oh how COULD you resurrect all these memories. Might stomp off in girlie huff now. On second thoughts..........
I like my detail sander too. I love the way you can velcro different grades of those sexy little triangular sandpaper sheets onto it, and schluuck it off again... nice fine, almost velvet paper for those really precious soft wood detailed things, and a good gruff Sylvester Stallone style paper for manky old blanket boxes that have been glossed and varnished so badly they can't breathe... then as you strip away (I'm awfy fond of Nitromors too) the sandpaper gets softer and finer, 'til you are almost caressing the grain...
*coughs*
Oh, and next... a cordless drill/screwdriver combi. Flick the switch and it unscrews stuff. Quite fab. Can also be used to menace any horrid neighbours.
I was recently pulled by the collar into a power tool shop where many of the items were in pink, and told that I didn't know what I was missing...
...I think the place belonged to someone called Summers.
I may like them ... but they don't like me. I pick them up, switch them on and they turn round and attack me, then they proceed to attack the wall and any other surface within their reach. It's mayhem I tell you.
Death to all power tools.
I like those screwdrivers that revolve as you push them in, saving you the hassle of twisting your wrist round and round, but hardly a power tool.
Do shoulder pads count as power tools?
Most people shouldn't be allowed within 100yds of a power tool. I suppose those sanders are ok, it's hard to do any damage with one of those, but when you get into the realms of drills, jigsaws, circular saws, planers and worst of all, routers, the attendances at A&E Unit's soars dramatically. Those stupid bloody DIY programmes on TV have a lot to answer for. They should be banned, as they almost all convince people with no 'tool awareness' that they can spend 20 quid and do a job that really requires someone that knows what they're doing. The programmes are entirely staffed by people chosen for their 'looks and sex appeal'. I've never seen a single one that was worth the making. Those wanting to use these tools should be obliged to attend courses designed to make sure that at the very least, they don't injure anyone. My tools are under lock and key and there is no way I'd trust either of my sons (aged 30 and 23) to handle any of them.
The terrorist, on theother hand, is a different kettle of fish.
I thought most people knew that 'terrorist' is the sobriquet I bestowed upon the jailer here.
34 years this June, man and beast!
I haven't given up hope though.

Yes I have to admit, once you get used to the noise, dust, high velocity fragments and overcome the thought about what will happen if the disk shatters, the angle grinder is certainly a very macho tool to use.
I have 20 odd trees around my garden boarder, so I get to use a chainsaw once or twice a year. Thats probably my favorite tool to use.
