Having spent a couple of days fettling recently it occurred to me that I have some definite favourite tools in my various boxes, chests, wall boards.
What makes them favourites ? Hard to tell really, it's an unquantifiable combination of feel, efficiency (both from a minimalist amount of material used in its construction and also how efficiently it converts your muscle power into a useful effect), precision, neatness for the task at hand, how often you use it, provenance, ooooo, and at least a few others. What I can't do is even begin to weight each of these factors in any meaningful way.
And the results ? The jury's still out, but when I come to a conclusion, I'll be sure to update this thread, and with photo(s).
And you ?
