I love my Power Probe. It makes diagnosing electrical systems much easier and quicker. I can apply power and ground with the flip of a switch and it helps as a visual aid to show customers. Especially with window switches, I can unplug the switch and appl

I love my cordless impact wrench. Although, I do like a good 1/2 & 3/8 drive ratchet.

My favorites? Well, let’s see … I do like my air impact, the quickee ramps make projects a thousand times easier now (do a lot of oil changes for people, don’t have/work at a shop, so I just have them pull out front, get the ramps out, 10 seconds the car’s up and secure, I’m under there working). But, I’d have to say my favorite was a little ratchet I had a friend of mine fabricate (that somebody ripped off of me when they stole the toolbox from my truck while I helped them fix a vehicle side of the road). It’s just a regular ratchet with a craftsman ratchet mechanism, but we stuck a 3/8″ square drive socket on the end of the handle, so if you need a longer handle or to reach somewhere odd, you just add the extensions and universal joints to the end of it. Sounds stupid, but I hated using those universal joints until I figured out to put the ratchet first, then the universal joint, a lot less cumbersome that way. I wish some company built them, took him 2 weeks to build me one, not gonna ask him to do it again, but dangit, that was one versatile tool.
