The Letherman wave with it's locking blades and tools are wonderful. The lifetime warranty and exchange couldn't be easier.
Love my Makita flashlight. The multipositon lens makes working on projects a lot easier, especially sinks. The li battery charges in 15-20 mins. I wish the bulb was LED though, shouldn't be to hard to get a replacement.
The Makita air compressor
http://www.makitaaircompressor.org/ replaced my Devilbiss. The Makita is really quiet by comparison. I can have a conversation in the garage without shouting. The Devilbiss sounded like an uncorked chooper. I eventually donated it goodwill. One day while going for an evening stroll I heard the unmistakable staccato concussions of the beast. As I walked closer I saw that someone had my old air compressor, old hose, connections, stickers and all.
I was told the sound an air compressor makes is due to the maintenance (add oil) type of aircompressor vs. the maiintenance free type.
The Makita is advertised as portable, however at 70lbs it stretches that defination. So I mounted mine on a four wheel hand truck and a retractable hose.
