Top Tools 2007-2012

In the early years of the survey, there were tied places due to the smaller number of people voting. There are a few tools missing from the 2007 list as the original list has gone astray. Unlinked entries are devices or technologies (rather than tools) that are no longer included on the list as separate items.
