I would look for it but if i remember correctly it was part of a longer talk he gave. Might've been the one where he talks about building his Blade Runner replica gun, i don't know.

I could probably fill all the stuff I have for doing electrical work in one, maybe plumbing in another, and then a general purpose one? I've just over taken a room of the house that has become my workshop...sadly no finished basement or garage. Honestly I’m not seeing a lot of tools in there.

If your big screen TV or beer cooler went on the fritz, he could either repair them or smash them to bits with his Hulk toolbox. Is "Mythbusters" even on TV anymore? The last I saw of it was over the weekend. They were repeating the MB's "Shark Special" where the boys made big fake metallic sharks and were hysterically ramming them into a pint-sized boat. Not exactly science or statistical, but there's nothing like seeing a fake shark head slamming into the stern of a tugboat for a few laughs I've always thought of the "Mythbusters" boys as true heirs to comedians such as Galagher, a genius who tends to smash before he thinks...nice, heavy toolbox!
