How many power tools you got then??

[Scott]

Having met Mailee's family and realised there are people around here with serious router cravings, I got to thinking about the contents of all the plastic boxes on my shelves and how many power and cordless tools I actually have. One quick tot up later and I come to:

Routers (4), Biscuit jointer, Jigsaw, Circular saw, Electric planer, Screwdriver, Drill/driver, Combi/driver (2), Mains hammer drill, Mains SDS+ drill, Wall chaser, ROS, Orbital sander, Delta sander, 3" belt sander, Dremel, Electric chisel/carver, Heatgun, 9" Angle grinder, 4 1/2" angle grinder

Now, I knew I had a few but I'd never have said I had 24!! :shock: :shock: Hope SWMBO never finds that out!! 8-[

How many have you lot got then?

(hoping that most people are going to say more than me!)

Shocked to find I have 15 and I am only a wood turner now if you had asked how many chisels and gouges I had :roll:

Blimey. This is spread over two houses (1 a holiday home with a lot done to it), but even so...

Drills, cordless, 6
Drills, corded, 2
Cordless Driver, 1
Sanders, asstd, 12
Belt Sanders, 1
Planers, 2
Jigsaws, 3
Sabre saw, 1
Scrollsaws, 2
Bandsaws, 2
Pillar Drills, 1
CMS, 1
SCMS, 1
Routers, 3
Engraving thingy, 1
Heat Gun (does that count?), 1
Large polisher (never used, dunno why), 1

I'm amazed. And to think I was worrying about bidding $50 for a scrub plane...

Well I thought it meant portable power tools.

But I really think we should have a poll for planes and chisels :twisted:

[Paul Chapman]

Elu biscuit jointer
Elu MOF96 router
DeWalt 625 router
Elu jigsaw
Elu 180mm circular saw
Elu orbital sander
Elu bench grinder (don't use it much because it's easy to burn blades)
3 cheapo electric drills, corded (one in Record drill stand)
Kango SDS drill

A rather modest 11 in all - must try harder :lol:

Cheers :wink:

Off the top of my head I have the following power tools (portable); routers (5), drills/drivers (2), delta sander, mains drill, SDS drill, planer, circular saw, jigsaw, biscuit jointer..

My ROS blew up last year, still haven't got a replacement..

But I really think we should have a poll for planes and chisels :twisted:

I don't think the database will cope with all the information - it'll be too much for it to handle

 

[Colin C]

I think I am also in Dom's camp as I use mine for a living too

I was thinking that if I did start counting :-k

4 circular saw :shock: :shock:

I am stopping there

 

[DomValente]

[Smudger]

I forgot the biscuit jointer and the circular saw. And the angle grinder (but that's HI's) as are the scrollsaws and some of the drills.

This is very scary indeed.

Oh and another cordless drill on it's way

as for stationary machines I have:

1 pillar drill
2 planer thicknessers (One retired)
1 jointer/planer
1 bandsaw
1 router table if that counts?
2 lathes (one retired)
1 mortice machine
1 bench grinder

Not sure if these count but I also have:
1 chip collector
2 dust collectors/vacuums
oops, almost forgot 1 angle grinder too! :roll:
if I keep this up I will have almost as many tools as SWIMBO has pairs of shoes :shock:

 

[promhandicam]

2 Ryobi Cordless Drills
1 Makita Circular saw
1 Bosch 1/2 Sheet Orbital Sander
1 SDS Corded Drill
2 Ryobi 1/2" Routers
1 Biscuit Jointer
1 Rapesco Stapler / Nailer

As we are currently going through a period of load-shedding with the power out for 6 - 12 hours in every 24, I'm relieved that I have a reasonable selection of hand tools to choose from too!

I have nearly 20 power tools. It would have been nice for the vote to be split between professional and amateur as I suspect the profs would tend to have more.
