The last thing I bought was heavy duty grinding wheels for my Dremel. I guess that would be considered an accessorie though so, I think a hammer. My last major purchase would have to be my 25 ton wood splitter! oof, oof, oof!

I know, right? Someone else had taken it but when it was my turn to pick a white elephant gift I stole it from them. Fortunately no one stole it from me.
I love picking practical gifts that I can actually use.- Thread Starter Thread Starter

a new peeler, a kitchen tool!!!I just bought a new peeler for carrots, potatos, apples etc! For cooking, I love peeling off the skin of fruits and vegetables without cutting myself, haha
that sounds very nice!! 
i have a couple peelers here. these days, most times i'll use a knife to peel things.
i especially like to peel apples, to see how far i can peel before it breaks off -- you know, trying to peel the whole apple with the peel in one long piece. - Thread Starter Thread Starter

a vegetable peeler, from BJ's!!!
most excellent!!as far as kitchen tools, the last i bought was a set of stainless steel measuring cups and spoons
. i have the remains of a few sets of kitchenaid plastic measuring cups, but some have the handles of the measuring cups broken off and most of the print on them as to what measurement it is...is worn off too. so i bought stainless steel this time, and the measurement amount is indented into the handles. i looked long and hard at sets, and found a good set at a reasonable price (i didn't want to spend 30-something dollars on a set ). i absolutely love them!- Thread Starter Thread Starter

a cordless drill!!!
awesome!! and a new blender for your last kitchen tool!!
that sounds wonderful! i don't use my blender frequently, but the things i do use it for take a while to get done. like making sports drink powders, and blending until smooth several batches of apple butter.- Thread Starter Thread Starter

ahhh, a new Swiss Army pocket knife, with the really good scissors and a pair of nail clippers!!!I think my most recent tool purchase was a new Swiss Army pocket knife, with the really good scissors (the kind where the spring is integral rather than that separate piece that always breaks) and a pair of nail clippers.
It used to be that Wenger (the other official Swiss army knife company) was the only company that made their knives with the really good scissor spring, but they were recently bought out by Victorinox, which now owns their plant and probably their patents (the only reason I can see that they didn't start making knives with good springs decades ago is that they didn't have the right to).
I've lost my good vise grips, two pairs.It looks like I'll be buying some more of those soon, as well.

most excellent!! oh no! you've lost two pairs of vise grips.
maybe it was @Mother Dragon 's Harrigan, maybe he's been visiting you...? i recently misplaced my potato masher, can't find it anywhere. 
looks like i'll be buying another one. it's particularly annoying to me, because everything has it's own place in my house (...and everything is (supposed to be) in it's place).

bread pans for your kitchen!!!
that sounds awesome! chain link opening pliers, and a bike cleaning brush!!
yes, i'd count the bike cleaning brush as a tool. 
Now that you mention it, I can't find my potato masher either. I went to use it on Thanksgiving and it was MIA. Why does Harrigan need two of them?ahhh, a new Swiss Army pocket knife, with the really good scissors and a pair of nail clippers!!!
oh no! you've lost two pairs of vise grips.

Harrigan must be out visiting, collecting things. oh, i don't think he necessarily needs anything he might swipe. well......Now that you mention it, I can't find my potato masher either. I went to use it on Thanksgiving and it was MIA. Why does Harrigan need two of them?
......he might be planning on bringing them back home to @Mother Dragon 's, then to use them to create some sort of humorous (only to him) drama. like if suddenly there were 6 or more potato mashers in the drawer at home.
I thought I was all set up with all the tools in the same place (not counting my pocket knife, of course, which stays in my pocket), but it seems I was mistaken. I had two small pairs (to fit my small hands), one standard, one needle nose, and they're both gone, and I just know that they'll show up again as soon as I replace them.oh no! you've lost two pairs of vise grips.
I may actually be forced to clean house in the hopes of finding them...

Ditto with the tools. I think my hubby has every tool known to man.
I just bought a pastry blender--you know, for cutting butter into flour. I also got an Instant Pot which I'm going to try for the first time this morning. - Thread Starter Thread Starter

yup, that's what usually happens here too -- the missing item(s) turn up as soon as i've replaced them.
i still haven't found the (potato) masher. and i actually won't mind if it shows up again after i've bought a new one.

heavy duty grinding wheels for your Dremel, a hammer, and......a 25 ton wood splitter!!!The last thing I bought was heavy duty grinding wheels for my Dremel. I guess that would be considered an accessorie though so, I think a hammer. My last major purchase would have to be my 25 ton wood splitter! oof, oof, oof!
*hears the Angels sing* a wood splitter!!! most excellent!!i've dreamed of a wood splitter. of course, where i live now, i don't have wooded land so no real need for a wood splitter.
