^^^Why does that picture look crazy when you scroll past it?


I have very little more than basic tools, but my most useful is my mig welder. From fixing the kids wagon wheel, to making a home made marshmellow "fork" (4th of july smores-athon), I love that thing.

 

hahaha it does

 

With 500watts of halogen light behind me, I can work at any time (day or night)

My 4.5' 3/4" drive breaker bar comes in handy for those axle nuts and crank pully bolts.

Also, gotta love the Black and Decker angle grinder for body work... after all, I do own a Honda.

edit: Cool topic idea

my list is SOOOO long of my favorite tools (heres a condensed version)

#1 like said before the fuggin pocket screwdriver i LOVE freebies

#2 the new snap on magniesum 3/8th drive gun

#3 3/8th cordless impact

#4 the titanium ingersoll gun i love that thing

#5 all the flank drive plus wrenches and sockets

come to think of it i love everything in my box lol

 

The coolest tool i have ever worked with:

Deutsch Crimper




I also like the stick with the little suction cups for lapping valves, and i dont know what i would do without my impact wrench.

 

for those who fab, this baby cuts EVERYTHING! right/left snears are nice to have around, if not for cutting sheet metal than it's nice to have to cut open plastic packaging! haha

 

a breaker bar

Decent gun, but a guy that works in the shop I do picked one up about 3 months ago and he always has problems with the drive direction selector getting gummed up with crap he's constantly cleaning it out.

I bought the new MAC AW180q 3/8" gun 2 months ago and love it. 450 ft/lbs of torque, light and very very quiet. My buddy that has the Snap-on magnesium is looking to ditch his and pick up the AW180q because he's sick of his getting gunked up.

tell him to trade it in and get a new model of the new snappy, cuz they fixed that problem with the 3/8th gun and did something with the exhaust port on the 1/2 gun

also the mac guns look a LOT like the ingersoll guns just like matco

impact drive won't get em off all the time, sometimes you have to drill the heads off or use a hammer and chisel

Looks good I bet it works just as good as my snap-on one

 

 

I dont really have a favorite, because each one of my tools I buy out of necessity. I guess I'll say my favorite tool is the one that replaces the rigging of other tools to make a particular job easy.

example: gearwrenches when loosening the 14mm nut on top of the spring hats while holding shaft with the allen wrench.

another one: matco's honda/acura linkage pin tool. u can use other punches and other makeshift objects for this, but its a lot easier with a tool designed to do it.

one more: socket caps combined with gearwrenches..great for places where a ratchet wont fit.

i can go on and on...

to cool thread

 

Snap-On 18v Cordless Variable Speed Drill... love this thing.. and my Snap-On 18v Cordless Impact Gun.

Breaker bar... that **** gets everything off.

 

my spoon coveralls, spoon logo/etc, very comfy, short sleeved, pretty dirty.. but i love wearing them.. pockets are a bit small...

Haha, that is the exact impact wrench I own. No way I could live without that.

 

I have the worlds cheapest impact gun, a 1/2" Pit Bull that was new for $29. That and a two foot piece of steel piping are by far my best friends in my garage.
