    Default What do you call yours?

    Having just posted that I have given one of my tools a name on another thread, I thought I would ask the question here.... Do you have a pet name for a tool?

    Very much so. Many of which have been influenced by some helpful suggestions from my (then) rather little girl. So my kiln, with apologies to Astrid Lindgren, is named Villa Killekulla. My disc cutter is called Elvis and my favourite hammer's named Jack.

    The same help with naming has led to all spirit levels in the house being known as flattinators....

    I lost my Maun cutter for more than a month, so last week I finally went out and bought another. I have just found the first one, so now they are both called those b.....s.

    Seeing what Peter wrote above, I conclude that men curse and women re-name.
