Good Features

[Rich]

This is not a tool comparison question.. more like a what's the best feature on a tool you've seen? Doesn't matter what tool, as long as it has a useful feature. You might even be the only one that thinks it's useful - that's alright too. :D

I have a few tools that i think have good features on them. First of all is the DeWalt "framers" saw with the hook on it. That hook is the handiest thing i have ever seen on a circular saw. I know alot of people use the old Skil 77's but i would like to see them climb up on a 12/12 roof and hook that saw on a rafter. Another one is a new 5 in 1 tool (painters tool) that i bought the other day. I think it was a Goldblatt. It has two nail pullers build into it and i didn't figure i would ever use them but i found that they work very well to pull finish nails. They work very well on 18ga. brads that will usually break when trying to pull with some other tools. I guess another feature i like are the belt hooks on Paslode cordless guns.

I agree with the Dewalt circ saw. That's about the only corded tool I'd buy from Dewalt - but the weight and rafter hook are definate plusses. I've always been going to buy a 5-1 tool but always forget when walking around the LHS. Then I'll see someone using it.. and well it's a viscious circle.
