Who has the worst (best?) poser tool?
Rorty - 31/1/05 at 04:33 AM

I came across this [url=http://www.powerandperformancenews.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=POW302000&Category_Code=&Store_Code=PH]shifter[/ur l] today and it made me think of other poser tools and the collections that some poseurs build up. Some of those outlandish custom garage owners posted here recently spring to mind. I doubt if they know what half the tools are fore!
So anyway, who has the best poser tool?

Sorry about the long URL above, I tried to edit it, but it just keeps appearing as it is above.

is an ancient Bahco, the real deal as used by pit fitters before Maggie shut them all. Now I've seen that I might paint it a pretty colour
If you want to post a shorter link anywhere paste it into here and then use it.

Unfortunately my keyboard is a very ordinary model, but yes, the nm is very close to the mn, which mnakes it a nmuisance.

Watched the gadget show last night.

Rorty, what you want is one of the laser/IR projected keyboards. Brilliant bit of kit.

Projects a red laser image of a keyboard onto any surface and infra red scans it.

Seemed odd to see the guy tapping a table top and it all appearing on his PDA screen. Moving the projector further away produced a larger keypad, just the thing for 'blunt' mallet mashed fingers.

Whole unit no bigger than a 20 ciggy packet and battery powered. Predict we'll see plenty of those for use with PDAs etc.

I saw a coroner on TV using something like that. Must have been what it was. It sounds perfect for dirty areas etc.
Pricey? Not that I'm in the market for one, or at least, not until they can beat the price of my $29 keyboard.

This heading worried me at first...

..well, I know what a 'posing pouch' is*, so a 'best poser tool' is...?

*I know what it is, but I have never worn one, I hasten to add.

That's not what your neighbour across the road says.

Ive got one of those nail guns that Tommy used on Ground force. Bright Orange (Paslode). Used it for decking and fence around the house. I need another project for it. Makes a fantastic sound when used fast.

My DeWalt tools always look good until grubby fingers dull them a bit.
