My new favorite tool is a pair of Klien Journeyman 2000 Series Side-Cutting pliers that I bought a few weeks ago to replace my old ones. I can't believe how much nicer they are! The cutting knives are hardened more than my old ones. I was just munching through some #2 Al Triplex like it was butter! And I'll second/third/fourth the cordless hammer drill... I'm using a Milwaukee 18v Lok-Tor and love it.
