Cutty/slashy pointy things. What have you got?

[Sabcat]

A friend's just been round and she commented on the things hanging up in the engine room - a 19" machete, some 8" and 18" bolt croppers, hack saw, panel saw, bow saw, pliers, secateurs and some elbow length water proof gauntlets. She says it looks like a kit for killing people and disposing of their bodies.

 

What have you got to tackle the crap that gets in your way when you're out and about?

A hand scythe for the grass that the contractors seem to miss.

A beach spade wooden handled for the bits of their dog that people forget.

3 chainsaws uncountable knifes 5 silky pruning saws 2 splitting mauls 1 hatchet 1 rather sexy Japanese kindling hatchet I am sure there more but that will do for now

[gazza]

My Gramp's billhook, a cheap hatchet, pair of bolt cutters, a good pair of wire cutters and some gilbows.

 

The billhook is my prize possession out of that little lot, I can remember my gramps using it, he's been gone since 1990, I like the fact it still gets used. It does an excellent job of clearing a mooring and doesn't take much space in a locker.

We live in a modern house with a boring garden, there us absolutely nowhere it would be any use at home!

[GoodGurl]

2 chainsaws, 2 bow saws different sizes, small axe, bolt croppers, 8lb splitting maul and various knives.

[Paul C]

Just the one chainsaw, a little pocket knife then I'm delving into the kitchen utensils.

[FadeToScarlet]

Two cabin shafts, a shunter's pole, a "Bargee bill's prop cleaner" which I've never used, bolt choppers, wire cutters, couple of old kitchen knives.

[Daiboy]

A 1½ lb axe, one of those saws in a holder, a bow saw, carpenters saw, hacksaw, 2 old fashioned police truncheons, a 6 cell Maglite, various Sabatier knives (for cooking, obviously) and a lovely red painted tiller arm to repel boarders. Next on the list will be an AK47, an Uzi and finally a H & K sidearm. Only joking of course.

[Chagall]

an alligator lopper and a kitchen bread knife..... kitchen bread knives are the perfect thing for cutting stern rope off props!

What the bloody hell have you got truncheons for?

 

when it comes to "home defence" a black widow catapult and a bag or marbles is just about perfect. You can deter would be stone throwers by firing a marble 50 yards ahead up the cut and just leave it on the roof.

[Daiboy]

A memory of my time in the force (service). Just nice to have hanging around.

[Ssscrudddy]

It seems like I'm far less psycho than you lot. All I have is a bow saw, a hacksaw, a large splitting axe (5.5lb/2.5kg), & a small splitting axe (1.5lb/0.68kg), & a set of bolt cutters... & a gas powered air pistol.

We should all turn up somewhere with our gear and pillage a town

They are fun, and like I said, a great deterrent to wouldbe stone throwers (I'm thinking of you Goscote, you miserable hole in the ground).
