Okay. New thread.

What is your favorite "classic" tool in the shop? You can interpret
"classic" to mean any number of things; I am going to interpret it as
meaning "they still make them the same way after 20+ years". But you
can interpret it differently if you like.

Mine would be the Porter Cable 505 half-sheet sander. Love it! It is
a bullet proof design and I don't think it could be improved much if
you tried.

My favorite classic tool is the tool for the job. We've all at one time
tried using the wrong tool, and sometimes it works ok, but more often it
doesn't. With the right tool for the job, you're left watching the tool
work rather than watching the sweet as it drips into your eyes.

Tried and true, tested for millenia.
