Top Four Tools You Should Own - Sorted By Gender

I don't see my gender, what do?

1. You're perfect

2. You're really perfect

3. I love you

4. I recommend a tape measure and a precision screwdriver set, as well

5. Is a "shop knife" like that what you wanted when you asked me for an "X-Acto knife" in February and were aghast at the pen-knife I handed you?  Because we call what you've pictured here a "boxcutter," and I have two, so I think there was a dialect barrier between us.

6. I miss you a lot

1-3 whatever

4 - I too think they are important, but you can usually get by without.

5 - X-Acto is a brand name of a pen knife. You were right to give it to me. The above knife is multi-purpose, and box-cutter is a very popular one. It's also used a lot for Sheetrock. me getting angry was my equivalent of the NORMAL DAD SCENARIO (or so I've been told) of you "not holding the light still".

6 - whatever.

What, no Leatherman?

Check, check, check, and check. I just recently got a cordless drill and those things are hard to live without, especially for a whole year.

Also you're pretty fudging awesome.

What, no Leatherman?

A Leatherman is a fun, mobile thing when you're outdoors. But it's rendered obsolete by pretty much the above better items, less the other items that also have better options available.

Or go old school and use a screwdriver? 

My dad and my sister both pass this test with flying colors.

Good to know I pass the test.

I like your style.

(Happy to say I have all four, and then some.)

This list is very, very true. Just two things I would add. 1: Flat head screwdriver. Very, very good lever, and much less likely to damage something than a hammer. 2: Needle nose pliers. Nuff said.

You forgot this one.
