Is that you in the pic Kevin?

Dremel
Drill press
Router

Electric power-erasers were used for mechanical pencil-paper drafting. Imagine a dremel with a spinning pencil eraser bit. I had one in high school and it was really cool.

Am I crazy?... I've always wanted a dentists drill. those things are soo cool, like a super-precise dremel with ultra fine tips and bits. I've always wanted one of those big over-head, swing arm lights you see at the dentist. I want one of those over my work-bench.

I love my petrol bushwhacker/strimmer not sure what they are called in the states. Anyway the thing you use when your weeds are about 2 feet high.

Gotta love that 2 stroke smell and sound

That's like asking which of my kids I love the most! Since I have two kids, I will list two tools...
Delta Unisaw and Bosch 1517evs.

They're used by draftsmen and anyone who does a LOT of pencil drawing, excepting I suppose, fine art. I just like gadgets.

The headline, no matter what qualifiers, invites silly thoughts from the comic part in each of us. Humorless people generally are constipated in MANY ways.

Aside from that ...

OK I really like my Honda Lawn mower. I like quality toys that do their job. If I get a number two it's a belt sander I bought this year.

OK, I'm easily amused.

Indeed.

Erases with power?

Powerfully erases?

Homer Simpson invented the power eraser, but when he tried it, *he* spun around.

Homer Simpson invented the power eraser, but upon testing, he erased himself.

Homer Simpson invented the power eraser, but was slapped[1] with an cease and desist notice from Prof. Frink's lawyer. [1]Literally slapped--the mailman slapped Homer with the letter. Get it?

After thinking the word "eraser" about 20 times, it sounds like a cool name for a pet!

OB favorite power tool: my dremel.
