The Ask! Tool bar is exactly like the google and yahoo toolbars. Its main purpose is to provide a small search engine box at the top of your browser window. I like using the ask! toolbar because it is good when you have a specific question to ask and you're not just simply searching for one word or phrase like with yahoo or google. Another good tool to have. My only con is that the Ask! toolbar doesn't have a button that brings you directly to your email box, which yahoo and google do have.
