Sawzalls are quiet.  If you want loud try a jackhammer with the air compressor right in your ear.  When I was an apprentice I had to take a 90 pound jackhammer, cradled in my arms, and blow holes in a manhole.  It was 950 that day.  :P

But the tool that takes the cake for dirty and noisy is the partner saw.  Cut into a bit of concrete and rebar and watch the dust and sparks fly.  It will fill a large room in a matter of minutes but it will take a few years to make you deaf.  In 35 years I only had to use one once.  After that I found an apprentice.  :D

When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself.

My GFs got a vibrator like that.  The My Little Pony part, not the soldering iron.

channel locks, long story but short version is, had a job where it was the most versatile and useful tool for everywhere use.

(we did modify them a bit first)

Any kind of saw. Electrical ones for the noise, "hand-driven" ones for the agression release.

"I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?" - Fred Rogers

Jackhammer  ;D they are sooooo much fun to use!! But, Chainsaws and table saws are tied for second!  :laugh: Really, any type of saw is my favourite :P
Puberty is the sickest joke God plays on us. So you're just noticing members of the sex: "Girls girls, ooo". Naturally you want to look your best, and God says "No! You will look the worst you've ever looked in your life!"

Being a car man, I love my ratchets and sockets.

Aside from those I highly enjoy my wrenches, the impact gun, the torque wrench, breaker bar... :3 I think those are all really manly tools.
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, If I can be strong
I know every mile, Will be worth my while

When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

19.5 volt battery pack - it fits a 1/2 inch reversible drill,  a reciprocating saw and a small circular saw.

I like a good multi-tool.
