I think my favorite is a lumberaxe with fortune and autosmelting on it. Charcoal for days. You guys?

Stone pick.

Cheap (2 cobble, 1/head, .5 ea. for tool rod and binding)
Easy to repair (1 cobble from broken to full repair)

All you need is the Stencil Table, Part Builder and Tool Station or a handy Village with the right workshop.

Scythe. Such love for the scythe. Take out a whole crowd of zombies. Even more important now that zombies self-replicate.

Hammers are also pretty darn good for branch mining. Plus I have a tendency to hum the tune from Donkey Kong hammer tune while doing so. Either that or 'dig a tunnah'.

Before TiCo my early branch mining was a turtle mining in a 3x3 tunnel. The hammer was an item I felt was made for my play style completely so it'll always be my favorite mining tool.

I'm partial to the cutlass as a TiCo weapon.

Personally, I enjoy the TiCo pickaxes. They just have a "feel" to it, if you know what I mean. (probably don't, but meh! :p) Plonk Fortune, Speed, and Flux onto that thing, and watch it soar!

Hammer is by far my favorite. When you do alot of building the Hammer makes it loads easier to fix your mistakes no matter the size. Also makes branch mining a breeze.

Cobalt lumberaxe with four levels of redstone + massive forest of biomes o' plenty willow trees + coin of fortune = twelve stacks of wood in three minutes.

And the scythe is the best thing ever for making rubber tree farms.

It will be the longsword EARLY early game and the hammer early game, you cant imagine how convinient is to use that stone longsword for traveling, requires almost nothing and can jump over ravines. Traveling becomes 3x times easier. Once established a hammer is a must first craft, so I rush smeltery and go get 30 or so iron, in the mean time with other stuff so i get set-up.

I don't think I'll ever get tired of the hammer, especially with how you don't need expensive materials at all to use it properly. I'm currently enjoying this simple one made with a cobble head and flint plates (for some extra speed and a better look) and a blue slime handle. Oh no, it doesn't have enough durability? Not a problem, I was most liking digging tunnels anyway so all I need to do is plop a tool station down and repair it with all the stone I just got. I don't even think I needed to put this emerald on it, since a recent TCon update made hammers ignore ores in certain occasions.
I will most likely never make an iron/cobalt/RF/expensive something hammer again.

Hammer with a stone head, the rest made of whatever material you choose, I am a fan of iron. Add auto-smelt, fortune, and a diamond.

Now that same hammer is faster, more durable, turns ores into 2.5 ingots on average, and can mine everything a diamond pick can.

Hammer is my favorite. Fully steel, gold+diamond, 4x redstone, never need to run to the nether to fix and I can lag the server while mining.

Lumber axe is most useful early game for farming wood.

Manyullyn blade, paper crossbar and handle. Add a diamond and gold onto it, and put strictly quartz on it. Will go up to 7.5 hearts of damage, and I think 8 hearts if you really want to put a nether star on it. 7.5 hearts of armor piercing damage, with faster damage speed ends with an awesome feeling of being in power (or overpowered, if you see it that way)

I'm partial to a Manyullyn longsword with enough quartz to one-shot monsters if you're running and get a crit. For digging, I recently discovered the awesomeness that is the Silk Touch hammer. Stone Bricks for days!

Protip: Use steel for the head and save yourself the diamond.
Actual protip: Don't bother with the diamond, and carry around a fortune/silk touch pick. Mine out everything that stone can mine out normally, then when you hit the good stuff, get your fortune/silk touch groove on! Very useful for obtaining redstone ore for TE3, because stone won't break redstone. Use the hammer to mine out the stone around the desired material, then use the uber pick on the desired material.

why not just make a good hammer with silktouch?
