Hand/manual tools

[Hooverfb]

I don't know why, but I love using hand tools over power tools. Since we bought our house, I've picked up a crank hand drill, push reel mower, and trimming/edging sheers on a pole instead of a weed whacker. Last item was hard to find. Want to get some chisels and hand planers for doing some wood work in the next year or two.

Who all has some interesting hand tools that are hard to find now that alot are replaced by power tools?

I love using my Hand Crank coal forge and Anvil. Power tools are a great time saver but, there is a sense of accomplishment that comes with making something but hand. I think everyone should learn their craft with hand tools before upgrading to power tool. At the very least, it gives you a greater appreciation for the tool.
