Lighthouse Posted 3 April, 2012 Share Posted 3 April, 2012 I was searching for a new torch last night and in my boredom was trying to find the most poweful torch on the market. The two most powerful, but still practical, I could find were an 85W torch that can light stuff up 1km away and another that can cook marshmallows at short range. It struck me that only a man can appreciate stuff like that, like surround sound speakers and pen knives. Anyone own any other decent man toys and gadgets?

Colinjb Posted 3 April, 2012 Share Posted 3 April, 2012 I do like a good drill. Have been coveting a 110V, 670W Bosch number for a while. Something capable of taking it to any material requirement. http://www.toolbox.co.uk/bosch-gbm2321-1150w-two-16136-102756?utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=GB&utm_campaign=GoogleBase I also nearly cried when I lost my 5mm rachet shocket feel into my friend's car door. Sourcing a replacement wasn't an issue, but that horror of not being able to complete the job until another could be obtained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 As the only male in the house, I tend to get spoiled by the girls. For starters, I have a man cave, locally referred to as the Fortress of Solitude. I hide up here whenever they are watching reality shows and the like. It is equipped with numerous pieces of tech, 2 LED screens, 1 LCD screen and most importantly, a beer fridge. Most of my bloke stuff is geeky stuff.

Mine is literally our box room and also has assorted crap from around the house in it, so it's not ace for visitors - although the dog spends a lot of her time here. My least favourite time was when the dog did a "dirty protest". Laminate flooring, so no lasting mess. Still, an afternoon of bleaching and cleaning on my knees - while the dog looked on with an amused expression on her face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have a pap cave (minus a pap) which I try to dominate however it keeps getting invaded by laundry, other halfs work stuff, toddler toys, random friends on sleepovers etc etc. It has various old PCs, consoles, LCD TV and PS3 etc, electric guitar and amp, (+rockband ps3 gear), general geeky stuff stored away (some in the loft) An Atari Jaguar collection, not yet complete, games workshop stuff too. Also have a surfboard, bodyboard, loads of scuba gear, petrol lawnmower, circular saw, used to have chainsaw, Marin mountain bike (hardly used), got a big black Maglite but left the batteries in too long and its all corroded inside (anyone know how to fix this?), a Leatherman multitool (superior to Swiss army knife imo)... Would love to have a garage or massive shed to hide in and fill with more cr*p. Don't have a beer fridge, motorbike, boat or car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
