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!

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

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 gas BBQ with a side burner
