So go on then, ignore the reality, if you were choosing what DIY related pressies were dropped down the chimney, and someone else was picking up the bill, what would they be?
I will start us off, a nice double garage sized building stuffed with timber, decent hard woods, and other materials to make any project just a matter of nailing it together! ;-)
I'd like an audio spirit level. seems these are no longer being made. Another great device would be w a wal crumblability tester, so before you embark on a hole and half the walls plaster falls off, you can know and take some action. OK so you can tap the wall and hear if its hollow but that won't work for some creatively plastered walls. You need a little wall penetrating radar device.
Titanium hammers are nearly 50% lighter in weight than conventional hammers yet they deliver the same nail driving force with 10 times less recoil shock. This means a 15oz titanium hammer delivers the same force as a 28oz steel hammer. The significantly harder than steel, titanium transfers much more force because it absorbs much less of the impact allowing you to strike more effectively with considerably less effort. Made by Stiletto in the USA and exclusive to Rutlands these titanium hammers are revolutionising the North American nailing market as they significantly decrease the incidence of repetitive-motion stress related injuries."

- and out of stock, so someone might be lucky this morning. :-)
A 415v 100T hydraulic press, for forcing out bearings that seem to have bonded to the surrounding metal (like at my old work), it just spat them out without even trying
Also one of those laser cutters as shown in the recent (excellent) James May program used for cutting balsa but one rated for metal and not fixed down, a 'freestyle' one...
Finally a set of ear defenders so powerful they are rated to cope with SWMBO!
Does this mean you can now break your thumb by hitting the nail incorrectly, rather than just bruising it? Should go down well in the states then, they will no doubt be making doctors very rich.
Actually the list here is not very out of the box, tool or other wise is it?
I'd like a robot that is small enough to crawl around plumbing and spot build ups of scale etc, and then remove the crud, or perhaps a robot roofer that can work in all weathers and does not need 2 hour tea breaks.
The best hammer I own cost me nothing. I found it lying in the road. Like one of my pairs of mole grips. I've seen a fair bit more, but it's always either been too late to stop, or it hasn't been worth risking my life to acquire it.
Mmm yes, I'd have me one of those, but with heating, a pit, engine hoist, benches and vices to faff about with cars and bikes.
For two years running I got a 'men and sheds' book. Admittedly this year it was a 'miserable old git' book, but still those around me don't seem to realise that a shed just doesn't cut it in the 21st century.
