    Kinda just thought this up
    After 2-3 times finding out here on one of my wrenching projects, another member said, ‘Tool for That’…….

    I HAD NO IDEA of this tool, until someone told me about

    maybe show tool and what/why said tool works on so well?
    Whatever

    here I go:

    To work you have to be able to see. These things are obnoxiously versitile and they provide a crazy high CRI for a work light, so you can distinguish everything you need to see.

    I own three of them because I keep finding uses.

    I was going to post my 90° needle nose pliers, but was too lazy to go out to the garage. These are awesome.

    Honestly a good set of ratcheting box end wrenches (metric of course) are a close second

    I think my favorite tool or tool I use the most is my impact. I have a lot of tools for being only 21 so it's hard to pick one :anonymous:

    If I lost it, I would buy it back without waiting. I love my long electric ratchet.

    I'm so freaking sick of my dewalt tools. Anvils keep wearing out before they break.

    For the price of a Snap On one it better not wear out for a long long time!

    I don't use my tools daily so it should last me a while.:thumbsup:

    I'm stupid hard on my junk, but dewalt is great for home use. My problem is Mac was dewalt so I invested in numerous tools. All starting to show age. Just venting lol.

    My one buddy gives me a hard time calling them black and decker all the time lol

    Here’s my ride or die

    alum (adapted) cheater bar
    Came out of an office copy machine 24yrs ago. Copy machine tech was going to toss it, he gave it to me
    It used to be black, stem to stern

    if I grab my socket wrench, I’m grabbing this every time
