Ah now, you had me until you mentioned the iPhone.

hi, humility.
A bench grinder of my very own was purchased today and facom 3/8 ratchet with twist feature. They are essential now.
A large flat head screwdriver that can equally be used for opening things, levering, scraping, digging, as a straight edge and occasionally for screws.
Also known in my family as a bodger.
A dog.
Mechanical watch, leather wallet, Swiss Army knife and a decent pen.
There are others, but these first spring to mind

Supposing a man has MIND, BODY and SOUL, the following can't do any harm
- lovely wife
- decent outfit
- serious watch
- comfortable car
- nice dog
- vintage straight razor and badger brush
- Fender Stratocaster and Marshall Amp
- Nicon camera
- ............................... etc.
Lacking M,B&S, nothing can help, not even a dog.
A house.
A decent car and / or motorbike.
A good watch.
A decent stereo, computer and TV
Some good books.
Tools and the knowledge to use them properly.
Good shoes.
A good suit, or several if he wears a suit to work.
A camera.
A good wallet.
A sense of humour and self confidence tempered with humility.
A good waterproof coat.
A good music selection - preferably CD's or Vinyl.

What's the infatuation with shoes? Only women care about shoes! It's the one thing (ok, handbags too) they irrationally collect the way men do nearly everything.
As long as mine don't give me blisters and keep my feet dry, they'll do!
A Torque Wrench - That's my contribution.
