This is The Inhuman Tool, arch nemesis of The Human Tool. He has the ability to absorb powers from any model that he tears a piece off of. In this case, he’s taken from the Stairfighter and gained flight capability and enhanced strength from reinforced struts on his limbs.
The Inhuman Tool originally served as the first Human Tool, but after reaching his full potential as a hero and graduating to the rarest and most powerful green separators, his hunger for even more power warped him into something evil. Now he’ll stop at nothing to absorb power from all Lego models in creation.
We're collecting boxes, making sure we have plenty of packing tape, and finding places to stash our stuff. Time to move again!
We've done this so many times that it just seems natural.
My tool box. Everything I could possibly need in this little tin. Now if I could only remember to put it in my project bag.

What I brought to work today for my anti-static project. Heartfelt thanks to Jim for giving me the roll of 3M Core Series 2-0300 tape before he split for the boot.
Multi-tools are worthless in my view. Too many years in the saddle has made me wary...paranoid if you will. Only things missing here is Allen Set and the mini-crank puller. It's heavy but it inspires confidence. Handles the basics and some loaded touring mishaps like loose crankset, pedal, headset., or chainring bolts. FiberFix kit is real handy once you know how to use it. Only good for one spoke though.
A very precisely sized tool, this one is part of an old TA tool kit. This is perfect for #25 chainring mounting bolts and especially nice for the old TA "domed" bolts. This is cut flush at the opening as opposed to modern sockets which are often tapered for an easier fit over hex bolts or nuts. This means there is much less chance of the tool slipping off and rounding the corners of old TA hex-head bolts... which always seemed to be made of soft steel and were poorly plated.

"Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the instructions that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools safely greatly reduces the risk of personal injury." -Norm
I've been watching New Yankee Workshop since it came on the air. Norm is entirely to blame for my addiction to power tools. Sadly, no matter how many tools I buy, I can't seem to finish a piece of furniture in 26 minutes.
On the blog over at Wood Magazine they're running a little contest on Halloween - "Dress Like Norm Day". Whoever has the best shot will win a little prize. Since I happened to be donning my flannel plaid, and since I happened to be a bachelor for the evening, I did a series of shots.
This is a parody shot I call 'Tim the Tool Man Meets Norm Abram.'
