Lol. There is that chance.

fandandy, you're the only person who can settle this

You are correct, it was a joke.  I've never won a spelling bee but I did download Grammarly.

About 10 years ago my wife brought home a Black and Decker Alligator.

Got it on sale for $40.  I was like "WTF is that?  You know I have two real chain saws in the garage, right?"  Not to mention that it was Black and Decker.  

It's been one of the handiest tools I've ever owned, and she never lets me forget it.

I'm pretty innovative when I use my tool on your mom. She's a slut.

Cordless tools that finally match corded. I use zero tools that are corded 

I have a couple corded drills that take a key chuck...keyless chucks tend to spin on me.  Or if I am doing some serious drilling like using a hole saw

I use a plate that attaches to my hand ice auger and lets you use a cordless drill for ice fishing.

 

It's pretty amazing to not have to hand drill holes or deal with gas and 2 stroke motor in 5 degrees

This.... For less than $10, it sure is a lifesaver.

Thanks for the rec; my wife and daughters shed like crazy.  Even with a screen hair collects in the drain.  They had a 3 pack from a different maker I just grabbed for less than the Cobra.

That looks like a cool little gadget.  If it ever doesn't clear the clog this stuff works awesome.  https://www.homedepot.com/p/Instant-Power-67-6-oz-Hair-and-Grease-Drain-Cleaner-1970/100169339

Dremel is a wonderful cheap/tool.  Fixes problems.... cuts through anything from hard plastic to steel with detail.

Someone posted this on the board a long time ago. I wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to Google it. But basically it starts off with a tapered cone with handles on it. Apparently you jam this thing up a deer's anus and then rip it out to gut the whole thing and field dress it.

For the life of me, I don't know how you convince the deer to stand still for that whole process.

I'm going to be laughing at that for a long time.

I lost my key for my old corded hammer drill I used to have. Used channel locks. I do get spin once in awhile on my keyless. I still just use channel locks if that happens.

Mitre saw?

 There are some that are 36v, 56v, 60V, 62v, etc and some that take two 18v or 20v batteries etc.  They great ratings.

My only corded tools are:
Table Saw - always plugged in, in the same place in shop. Cordless wouldn't help me.
Miter Saw - same situation as table saw
