Ever had a tool or piece of equipment that works so well you take it for granted? I have owned my FlexArm tapping ( http://www.flexarminc.com/index.html ) arm since the early 2000's, and it amazes me every time I use it still. Just tapped 38 different holes with a 1/2"-13 thread through 1/2" mild steel in under 10 minutes. Yup, under 10 minutes. The only real downside to this tool is it's air consumption, which is pretty healthy at just over a constant 13 CFM. Check out this short video of it in action!

Nice!
Love tools that make life easy.....
Like our track torch....make cutting 1"AR500 plate easy as pie!
Radius cuts nice as well.

I know what you mean, though the torch produces so much heat. But I could watch the cnc plasma cut all day long... Here is a short video of us cutting a test piece in my friend's freshly built waterbed.
