What's your favorite tool in your toolbox?

[Holabak]

Too all of you who dabble in DIY or are Professional's like myself I simple question.... What's your favorite tool in your toolbox/tool collection?

Mine is my Ingersoll 3/8 Impact I use this little tool quite a bit..... in fact I purchased a second one I love it so much so I can have one at work and home! If your looking for a good all around air impact get this sucker!

Model Number IR 2115TiMAX

My headlamp. Impulse buy a few years back and it has proven to be very invaluable. Very cheap and the light is always where I'm looking.

Secondly, my plasma cutter. A favorite but sadly not used much for the time being.

Headlamps are awesome.

My fav tool though has to be...3/8" ratchet. Hah. I have pretty much no tools, so it'll have to do. It was either that or the 12mm or 14mm socket. On the subaru...they're invaluable.

I would say my Milwaukee Cordless Impact Gun, rated at 450 ft-lb and long battery life. I have not come across a bolt that thing hasnt been able to take off. Best part is in doing everything my pnuematic gun does plus I am not tripping over the damn air hose. Definitlly worth the buy. In addition it is portable I can take it to the Auto X events to help the guys with tire and wheel changes and such.

Definetly have to agree with you there on the cordless guns. I have the Ingersoll 3/8 cordless and 1/2 cordless as well and I find myself reaching for these more and more often everyday I'm at work.

Deadblow hammer/mallet. Makes things move when they didn't want to, especially when some PB Blaster has been thrown in the mix.

 

[Holabak]

The hammer for sure especially if your a Toyota tech like I am then it becomes your right hand tool all the time. Toyotas rust unlike anything else when it comes to there suspension components

Most definitely my Gerber multi-tool.

MAC 1/2" impact (1100 ft lbs reverse, bought this when the 400 ft lbs cordless wouldnt hack it on a crank pulley on my CRX), cordless impact (3/8, 1/2), 3/8 air ratchet, 15bhp 33gal compressor. After using air tools I am not exactly sure how I worked on cars prior. Once I get my lift that will be my new fav

 

[Holabak]

Yeah my lifts are an absolute must have but it's not something an everyday homeowner has. And surprising as it is a lot of folks don't have access to air tools as well either. The one thing I have realized over the many many years that I have been a mechanic is that air tools can be a good thing yes but use them too much and they quickly become bad very bad

Snop-on 3/8 wratchet with 14" handle and fully pivoting head. My turbos swap super fast now.

Most definitely my Gerber multi-tool.

Can I 2nd this motion.

That comes ahead of the lathe, milling machine, saws, welder and torches. Never leaves my pocket, during the day, unless it in my hand.
