    Electric/battery operated impact.. Beleive me they are AWESOME!!

    And I know not everyone likes Craftsman but unless you wannna spend more, this one works just fine for the weekend outing or simple little jobs around the garage/shop... You can get a DeWalt for a little more..

    Just bought this Dewalt 20v impact driver. It's super light and generates decent torque. I like the LED light setup as well. It stays on for 20 seconds after the trigger is released.

    Yep thats it. They are well worth the cost IMO. They have absolutely zero play in between clicks of the teeth on the ratchet and strong enough to be used as a breaker bar

    I would think bar clamps and pipe clamps are less bulky, easier to adjust, straighter, and less prone to flex.

    The description says up to 700ft lbs or something and the chocks can be stored in a tool box when not needed. The only caveat is finding a straight 2x4. I doubt the 2x4 is going to flex enough to make the clamps unuseable. And if you had a 2x4x16, you have a seriously long clamp (for what I dont know lol).
    My dad has about 20 bar clamps standing in the corner of the garage, where they have been for years, taking up space for the occasional time he uses them.

    Readers - lets remember that the thread is for the lesser known tools that you find extremely handy.
    We all know that we couldnt live without the basics, lets discuss some more unusual or new tools that some of us may not have thought about owning.
