Recently updated my utility rack. Now it's full of heel irons, welt irons and a few flat irons. I'm a moonlighter shoemaker, and I don't spend zilch on (not sure how to define these things!) "techno tools." My most recent advanced gadget-related purchases have been:
* A set of 18 shoemaking tools, second hand. Currently cleaning and restoring each one
* Macbook Air (a needed update to my Early 2008 White Macbook)
* Portable HD (I needed a few extra GB)
* Circular slide rule (because I always wanted one and it's a beautiful little and cheap geek gadget)
That's it. I'd never think of spending money on a combo tool: I have a beautiful workshop where I have one of each of these tools (or many of them) in perfect condition. Also, I'm of the opinion that a good tool should do one job perfectly (except emacs, that's it.) This is why I have a dumbphone and and iPod Touch. Actually my dumbphone doubles as flashlight, which is pretty cool because I'd never remember where my flashlight is.
