Socket set and driver, screwdrivers, box end/open end wrenches, crescent wrenches, vise grips, shovel and tow chain/rope.
|
|
The ability and knowledge to fix things and build things.
A lot of guys own tools...far fewer actually know what to do with them |
|
A vise not made in any country except England or America, and preferably at least 50+ years old.
|
|
You heartless bastard!!! |

Yep, I'm in search of a 67 Dodge Charger and some bright orange paint. |
|
|
Condoms. If you dont get any at least you can put over your barrel. Which one is your choice.
|
|
In and around the home:
Any kind of non-removable superglue/JB Weld/epoxy variant....for when the duct tape won't work. |
|

If you can't fix it with duct tape, throw it away. |
|
|
That's a good one! |

Chainsaw, fishing "stuff," Boat, good excuses, good place to hunt, more vacation, less nagging, FREE GAS.

Most important thing a man should have on him at all times is a good strong sharp knife.

No! That's what a hammer is for! There is very little that can't be fixed with a good hammer & a roll of duct tape! Tall Shadow |

A welder.
If it can be grounded, you can burn the shit out of it till its a pile of slag, or fixed. |

An axe and voltmeter (or an oscilloscope if you're really good).

Not a vise snob? Now aside from some of those finely crafted machinsts vises those fellas in Asia make for the micrometer-and-metal crowd, every man needs a heavy duty bench vise. For woodworking by hand, the way it's supposed to be done, see: The Emmert Pattern-maker's Vise |
|
|
because new vises are crappy.. you cant stick a hunk of metal in one and beat away with a sledge unti the metal bends right in one...
a 10 pound sledge... |
|
charcoal, aircompressor, air wrench, grinder, belt grinder, sawzaw, an axe, hoe, a couple five gallon buckets, lawn mower, electricians tape, socket wrench, sockets, glue gun, rake, air pump and needles, spade, weed eater, a roller thingy magig to lay on under the car, funnel, rags....theres a lot more, but i dont wanna go in the garage and write it all down
|
|
A fast car.
Skills, talents, abilities, intellegence = money ... = fast cars |
|
An AK-47 of course - one gun MINIMUM,
a wife that still polishes the woodwork (or a second girlfriend that will), a Corvette because blonds DO admire them even if the driver is a jerk, Vets EAT porches. a AR-15 with Bayonet lug - because we CAN again.... Thank you NPR for telling me how evil guns are and how terrible it would be if the AWB isn't renewed. NPR gave me the motivation to go out one of those EVIL banded weapons. a tool bench! No more domestic spates from cleaning guns at the kitchen table. a refridge with a built in Ice maker Jack Daniels to compliment the Ice maker. a son or daughter to raise conservative and delight in their development. |

I think every man should have at least one good pen. Not necessarily expensive, but one that feels good and writes smoothly. I'm also a believer in having a good suit and a nice pair of sunglasses. --ST

A big, lifted truck
A fast sports car A two-car garage full of tools A safe full of guns Shelves full of ammo A fridge full of beer, or a kegerator A hot and horny wife who is also a great cook Digital cable, huge TV, surround sound stereo DVD player and lots of DVDs A gas BBQ with a side burner Did I miss anything? |
