New Tool Day - show us your new tools

[gtudoran]

Hey guys, what do you say about a topic in which we can post pictures / descriptions of the new tools that we buy. Here i go first, made some commissioned work (Schematic capture and PCB design) and as a small bonus i've received 2 DMM - VC97 ... excellent tools for the price, nice features and accuracy.

Edit: Cozy, that tool works best when you don't take it out of the box, just saying.
