From games consoles to power tools, men just seem to be lost without their gadgets.
Now experts have compiled a definitive list of 30 male gizmo must-haves.
And it is not just the latest electrical devices men cannot live without. The trusty bottle opener and penknife are right up there with the Nintendo Wii and the laptop.
Younger men go for games while the over-50s choose garden gadgets and eReaders. The league, put together by questioning viewers of Channel 5's Gadget Show, found those over 40 favour grooming and comfort above games. Men entering their fifth decade named the heated loo seat and nose trimmer as their favourite electrical toys.
Teenagers are dependent on iPods, smartphones and Nintendo Wii games consoles. As men enter their 20s, they become reliant on a gaming chair to fight zombies, with hair clippers and mini fridge the new essentials. The 30-plus set cannot cope without power tools, head torches and sat-nav systems.
Those who had reached 50 went for metal detectors, sit-on lawn mowers and leaf blowers, according to the poll of 4,000 viewers.
The list was prepared for the Gadget Show's annual festive event held at London's Earl's Court from November 1 to November 3.
Presenter Jason Bradbury said: 'I love this list. I can totally relate to it, especially the craving for power tools.'
