Business Name Ideas?

Iam researching the idea of setting up as a Handyman/Odd Jobman in my local area.
Iam trying to think of a name I can trade under but I'm struggling to come up with any catchy ones.

Any ideas guys?;)

    Hammer Time!

    Whatever you do don't call yourself AAAAAAAAAAAAAAhandyman- no one ever calls the first person on the list in the yellow pages.

    Ha..has got a ring to it, unfortunately does not sound right as 'Dave'll Fix It'!

    Like the concept though! ;)

    I'm reading a book now where one of the central characters had their own handyman business and it was called (surname of character) of all trades.

    so in your case it would be passatrider of all trades

    Interesting concept again - with my Surname I suppose I could shorten it and call it 'Mack Of All Trades' ?
