You can call up this app with a quick keyboard shortcut, then launch any application by typing in its name, or part of its name (you can set single letters to correspond to a frequently-used program). No more cluttered desktop full of program shortcuts or needing to comb through…
As an alternative, I'm pretty sure ES File Explorer also handles zip files, as well as having many other fancy features like Dropbox integration and even an ftp server.

Holy crap I never thought I'd think a hammer looked sexy.
And then there's rubber bands. Extra grip when you need it, wrap them around kit to instantly stop it sliding off uneven surfaces (or scratching shiny ones), stretch one out to draw a straight line, hold your safety glasses with them, remove excess paint from brushes by stretching one over the paint can, undo mangled…

Then I hit the air tools drawer. I would feel crippled in the shop without these, particularly impact wrenches. However, they require a source of…
