I love quality hand tools. Not just what folks think of as "tools", but even something like a well made pen or mechanical pencil. Anything that is so simple that you can repair it with no prior knowledge or education, and can be used to then further repair other things or do useful tasks is something I love. In particular, drafting pencils (Rotring 800/600) are one of my favorite things to write with. They work so precisely, and are durable, and easy to disassemble, clean, and repair. They're the "original" mechanical pencils before it became a commodity thing made out of plastic. I love German-made hand tools, it's hard to beat push-through style ratchets for durability, simplicity, repairability, and ergonomics. I would put my Wera Zyklop push-through ratchets up against anything on the market anywhere in the world and guarantee it comes out on top.
