My MOST favorite is the "Dammit Tool." This is the tool you are holding when it slips. breaks or in some way crushes your hand. To use this tool properly, you must scream DAMMIT as you throw it across the garage. Then you can say dammit a bit softer as you realize you still need it and have to hunt for it somewhere in the garage. The sledge is by far one of my favorite tools in the garage.

Hell the paint has all but disappeared. We call it Baby Thor. We've recently added the polymer/fiberglass 3lb short handled sledge, we call it Pestilence.

Quality tools are a good thing to have, but completely abusable cheap tools serve a very important role in the tool arsenal.

Awesome. I have three tools of persuasion; aside from the 5lb sledge and a rubber mallet, I've found that my 24oz framing hammer is a good intermediate step.

If it had a 24"-plus handle, it'd be a BFH; if the head were sub-two-pounds it would be an LFH. The more you know! This, technically, is an MFH. If it had a 24″-plus handle, it’d be a BFH; if the head were sub-two-pounds it would be an LFH.
