    So don't want to have to go back to work tomorrow. 5 days off in a row spoiled me.

    They say you should think about something you are thankful for each and every day. It wasn’t hard for me to come up with something today. It’s cordless power tools!

    Your corn is three times as high as mine. I have given up all hope on it this year

    My sweet corn is only knee high. It’s a very short hybrid in stature and season. It’s already tasseling and so short it’s comical.

    Well……..ok, I can’t come up with any valid argument in opposition to that statement. They have saved my bacon A LOT of times.

    Better than a hammer?
    Or a knife or an axe?

    A hammer pretty much as one use.

    A recip saw can be used in place of a chain saw, pruners, a skill saw, and even an axe. I wouldn't recommend it as a hammer, lol.

    Probably one of the oldest tools known to man. Stone hammers going back at least 3 million years.
    Uses include knocking in nails, shaping metals, breaking things (rocks, nuts, heads etc).

    Axes and knives go back at least as far and have many more uses.

    If, in 3 million years, people are still using power saws but hammers have gone out of use I will concede.

    Yes! In many circumstances. They make axes and knives almost obsolete. That’s a bit tongue in cheek but a lot of seriousness as well.

    The hammer is debatable. I’ll give you that one for sure.

    The tool I use most often for the most varied tasks is common pliers. By far. I can not live without pliers.

    Now I’m completely uninterested in tools. Now I’m interested in your source of the fountain of youth! :)

    It's the knife for me.
    Whilst I'm sure you could peel and finely dice an onion with a power saw I imagine it would be somewhat imprecise.

    You don't need the fountain of youth.
    Just a good diet, plenty of exercise and regular baths in the blood of virgins.

    With 24 TPI, you could get a pretty good cut for an onion. You may have to scrape it off the far wall, but it would work.

    I use a knife a lot. But if it was a choice between pliers and the knife I’m taking the pliers. I would not want to use a reciprocating saw on onions. Didn’t they experiment with reciprocating saws for cutting cakes etc. though? I remember going to eat at a friend’s house once in the 1980’s and them having a reciprocating knife (saw) to cut cake.
