Use it every day at least 5 times a day at work. Or my small flat head Craftsman screwdriver that I buy for about $3 apiece. Use it as a screwdriver, small prybar, chisel, or what ever else comes to mind.  | | | | | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 687 | My Torch or short handle 3 pound sledge. popcorn The Truth is Out There (my creeper for taking a nap) | | | | | Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 66 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 66 | even though it isnt much fun the DA sander comes in close to the top on my list. just think of all the time it saves you. *note* this is only for us "non-retired" fokes that like doing things "quick"  BrianK

For $30 you can get yet another air tool ( of reasonable quality) that will flange your panels and punch a perfect hole for spot welding it in place. This really beats trying to weld in butt joints. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 154 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 154 | My IR air compressor with out it half my tools don't go Zeke
