You just thought about a "Red Hammer," didn't you?
If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of people who have a
different, if not abnormal, mind.
98% of the folks would answer a "red hammer" while doing this exercise.

I'm in the 2% group which is not at all surprising.

Re: 2% or 98%
I thought about my new fencing pliers, just in from New Zealand and sooo sexy.
They do have a red handle though.

Green trowel.
Judging by the answers so far the 2% v 98% is a bit out. Quite a few have gone for other options.
