Default Which Power Tool Would You Choose To Be and Why.

Inspired by this post in which -Skeme- claimed that I was a power tool, which came as a surprise to me because as far as I know I do not have electricity running through me nor am I a machine used in a manufacturing process, I started thinking about what power tool I would want to be, if I could in fact be one . I am doing this mostly because power tools are cool and to humor -Skeme-'s stupid ass. So which one would you guys want to be? I was thinking a bitchin cordless drill would be cool, but upon deeper thought, I have settled on a rotary hammer simply because they pwn. Anytime you have the ability to drill through cement, something is right in the world. What tool would you guys pick, and why?

As an aside, this thread could become a thread to discuss sweet tools, so clearly little boys should just ignore this thread.

I'd be one of those newer coin stamping machines at the Denver Mint because baby, I'm so money and I know it.

I would also consider being a 3-D rapid prototyping machine or an abrasive water cutter. Those things are badass. Are these allowed, or does it have to be something a guy's likely to have in his garage?

Those water cutters are freakin' awesome. But including that kind of equipment kinda ups the ante of this question.

If it's not available at Home Depot, it doesn't count.

A good reciprocating saw. Not crude like a chainsaw, but not wimpy like a circular or jig saw.

Dewalt makes a kick ass 18V cordless that whips through wood like its butter. The only problem is that it doesn't hold a charge for long so I had to buy a second battery which is ridiculously expensive, about 2/3rds the price of the saw itself.

I'll give you jigsaw, but what exactly is wimpy about a circular saw? A circular saw would kick a reciprocating saw's ass.
