What is your best looking/favorite tools?

Meat tenderizer. Lol

Seriously? I guess it does resemble, to some extent, the Pampered Chef one that my wife has.

You should take up cooking. That way you can make tools for the kitchen that are more rigid and certifiably manly. Lol.

It's a "bench block." Think of it as a small anvil. The various sized holes let you drive out pins (when they're aligned to the appropriate hole). The vee is useful when working with round stock.

I have a store-bought one of steel and a homemade one - a hockey puck I grooved and drilled.

Ok. I give up. What is it?

Bench block. Has many uses, driving pins in/out, drilling round objects, hand riveting... others I can’t think of right now.

This is not a pic of mine, I am too lazy to walk down to the shop. I got mine from a Chrysler dealer that was going out of business back in the 80's. The owner was a good family friend, and he gave me a gold (Plated) micrometer he got from attending a Chrysler technician training event back in the 70's. Mine is in a nice snap open case, looks like this is just a cardboard box.

some one near me was selling 24k gold plated starrett 12 inch calipers for the price of $25 but I did not get it
