Must Have Tools

My Bosch cordless tools. Have the 18v litheon Ion 1/2" hammer drill,700 ft. lbs torque and my 18v skil saw.
Also my 12 v bosch drill, impactor,adjustable head drill, flashlight, and sawzall tools. Love these little guys more than the big ones.

 

Agree.. MIG yes, TIG not so much..

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..

I have that craftsman 19.2V Impact and its great!

 

Yep

 

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.

 

I was just looking at that exact drill

 

Metric ratchet wrenches.

 

Got Craftsman metric flare wrenches for brake lines

And only 25 bucks? Why would anyone want to own bulky bar clamps ever again???

 

Love this thing. Snap on 17" dual 80 3/8" ratchet. I've used this every time I work on my truck

 

very nice how much was that ? ^

 

If I've got the right one... $130

Despite their excessive cost, I've got a few snap on ratchets from about 10+ yrs ago, and without a doubt they are the best ratchets I've ever used.

 

I got that one and a 14" snap on 3/8 flex head off the truck for $200. I think the website says $120

 

i would agree buddy of mine has bluepoint cresnt wrench it is beef.

 

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.

 

Shit where to begin... 4" angle grinder/ 1/2" impact/ all varieties of cordless AKA drills /sawzalls/work light/angle grinder/ 10" chop/miter saw

crappy flux wire welder, left/right angle aviation snips/hand seamers/dbl cuts

 

IR W7150 for the 1/2" Impact

I should be getting an FLF80 in today..TL72 tomorrow..hopefully..dam 80s...you get one and you get them all...

 

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.
