My Favorite tools

[EricTheCarGuy]

I love my snap on wrenches, they just ‘feel’ good but I would have to say that one of my all time favorites is my torch set as they have gotten me out of more jams than anything. I’m sure I’ll come up with more stuff too but those are the first ones I could think of.

favorite tool would have to be a big old pair of blue channel locks (unknown brand). second favorite would have to be my snap on flex head 1/2” ratchet.

I have this automatic wire stripper I bought from Radio Shack about 20 years ago that works like some kind of Rube Goldberg device. I don’t know why it’s my favorite tool, but every time I use it, it makes me happy. S:)

I like sockets and drive tools best. That’s the stuff I use to tear other stuff apart and then put it back together.

Hmm, too many to list! My 1/2″ and 3/8″ Snap On Tech Angle torque wrenches, 1/2″ Snap-On 24″ fine tooth ratchet witih rubber handle, 1/4″ 9″ fine tooth flexing/locking head Matco ratchet with rubber handle, 3/8″ Matco Impact gun, 1/4″ cordless Matco impact gun with 55lb ft of torque, this thing is awesome! Pocket screwdriver for sure, Fluke 87 V DVOM, Snap on prybar set with striking heads, Snap on flank drive plus wrenches, Matco stubby gear wrenches, long ones too… those are just the ones off the top of my head.

All of you folks have some very nice tools. When it comes down to it, my favorite is my set of snap on screwdrivers. I use them on the cars, on the small engine stuff, and for the honey-do list. They seem to be what I reach for the most.

i would have to say my two favorites ” the torch and 1/2 inch socket wrench”

I don’t know. I love all my tools but I think my 18″ breaker bar is tops. It’s saved my hide a few times.

I think my favorite “tools” are my Craftsmen roller cabinets and chests. They let me keep my tools organized so when ever I need a specific tool for a job I know just where to find it. Plus I can lock them so my son can’t get into them and make my tools disappear. He has his own tools but can’t ever seem to keep track of where he has put them after he uses them. They’re under his bed, on the floor in the garage, on the couch in the family room he’s always asking me to borrow something he has but can’t find.

I recently bought a Milwaukee 3/8 cordless ratchet. It puts out 35 ft lbs, I thought I would use it once and put it away, but let me tell you, its well worth the buy. I bought mine at Home Depot $150.00. At my shop, sometimes I have to work in the parking lot to get it running so I can bring it in the shop, so my cordless ratchet makes it much better. My opinion, the Snap-On 3/8 cordless is good, dont get me wrong, but its bulky whereas the Milwaukee is compact and light weight. Its a must have tool if you like or want to start getting cordless tools.

I like my Aircat 1190 impact and my lil air cat 1/4″dr air ratchet, I make a lot of money off those two. But my favorite tool just because its cool is my Snap On bore scope. Lets see just how many bugers are up in my nose!

My favorite tools are my impact wrench and a small pair of Kobalt Channel Locks. Those paired with my socket set and a few screw drivers you can do about anything.

I’ve considered buying one of these http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000AXA53/

Spring hose clamps are great when you can easily access them, but when you can’t… well, I’ll just say I can see where that tool would be handy.

My Knipex pliers,not cheap and the best pliers ever made.Just started buying them and putting the shame to my Channelock pliers,easier to adjust with a push of a button.
