If you had to use a hand tool instead of a power tool, which one would you use? Here are some of my recommendations:
Reciprocating Saw=Hack Saw and 2″ Wood Chisel
Saber Saw (Jig Saw)=Coping Saw
Screw Gun=Yankee Driver and Drywall Hatchet
Hammer Drill=Ball Peen Hammer (For Hardened Nails)
Coil Roofing Nailer=Roofing Hatchet
Brad Nailer=Woodworker’s Hammer
Oscillating Sanders=Sanding Block
Random Orbit Sander=Contour Sanding Grips
Drywall Router=Drywall Saw and Drywall Jab Saw
Router=Hand Planes, Butt Chisels, Keyhole Saw, and Compass Saw

Car=donkey
house=cave
hammer=rock
clothes=furs
cellphone=smoke signals
computer=stone tablet
McD's cheeseburg=leg of Mammoth
What does this situation in my life ask of me?
If I couldn't use power tools I'd sub it out to someone who could and still make more money than using hand tools. :)
Personally, I don't see hand tools vs power tools as an either/or situation. They've all got their place and I love all of them. My favorite is whatever I'm buying next.
