    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

          I voted other. They should be made out of Rosewood or Ebony, etc., and polished to a high sheen.

            I voted other. You can never go wrong with black. Black looks good on just about everything.

                  Red and yellow diagonal stripes to indicate the use and precision of this tool. I think it should stand out from other shop items as a calibration device worthy of its own paint scheme.

                    All my projects get an unintentional deep red splatter.

                      I voted "other". It should be painted a glow-in-the-dark paint so that you can find it in the middle of the night when you sneak into the shop to work.

                        I voted other. I want it to be flouresent blazing hot pink. You will never lose it in a clutter of other stuff.

                        Just for s&g here is a printing ink color chart to really liven things up. PMS 806 all the way.

                          Ha, there was supposed to be a Black (& Decker) choice, but that appears to be the one I forgot.
                          That explains why I had to put "other" in the extra space.

                            If you paint it pink, nobody will steal it.

                              Other. It should be poly. It's wood or a wood by product right!?!?!
