Re: Poll: What power tools are on your holiday wish list?

I do not have a router. Santa must have overlooked my workshop this year, but I would love to have a combination router.

Re: What's your favorite hand or power tool?

My favorite tools are my hand tools. Because the question asks what is your favorite tool I would have to say my Lie Nielsen #4 1/2 hand plane. It was love at first heft.
It is beautifully crafted, a please to hold and even better to use. It is a far better tool than my meager skills are capable of using, but when I am gone it will still work and be handed down to my grandsons and then to their grandsons.
It is in every sense an heirloom tool, but at the same time a true workhorse. It is great to see a tool of such quality that is still produced in our own country. Thank you Lie Nielsen.
I love my restored Stanley #6C & 7, my various Veritas planes, but will reach for the Lie Nielsen as my first choice working plane whenever possible.
