Rod's Spanner

I have some favorite tools I use,
Whenever I ply my trade, 
From the hammer in my leather pouch, 
To the retractable cutting blade.

I also love the spanners I have, 
One metric, the other in inch,
When I use them to tighten to my car,
The small electric motor winch.

And the ratchet, socket and circular saw, 
Displayed inside my shed,
I love these names said loud and proud,
From mallet to Phillips Head

And I use these tools every day,
I use the chisel, the grips, the wrench,
I love disappearing all the time, 
By my old warn wood workbench.
