Picture of Your Favorite Tool?

If you attached two more right angle extensions, so that it reconnected to the impact motor, would you have a perpetual motion machine?

 

Out of all my favorite *mechanical* tools haha, wobble tip ratchet extensions, rotating head ratchets, impact, 2 foot 1/2” breaker bar, long 3 foot extension for bell housing bolts, 6 point deep sockets, I have one affordable and one expensive tool to add:

This thing makes impossible tasks possible and time consuming ones take minutes:

Dremel 100-N/7 Single Speed Mini Rotary Tool Kit with 7 Accessories- Hobby Drill, Small Pen Sander, Garden Tool Sharpener, Craft & Jewelry Drill

This reaches where most other grinders can’t.

$290 Metabo WEF9-125 Flat Head Angle Grinder, 4-1/2"-5", Green/Black

Wasted way too much effort breaking things free with a normal 1/2 ratchet or short 18” breaker.. I’m sure everyone probably has a big one already, but if you don’t, get one

 

Probably my most used tool in the garage

 

I had them in my tool list for the head replacement

 

This is like telling someone to pick their favorite child. I’ve got 23 cordless Makita tools, that’s just the cordless stuff.

 

That flat grinder is sweet, wasn't aware of such witchcraft

 

What is that?

 

self leveling laser!

Laser level. Not a bad toy but mine does more. We used to use 5 point or 3 point and rotary then 2 plane came out, the 5 point and 2 plane this has is pure badassery. Planing cabinet faces, leveling floors, plumbing walls, shooting grade, nice to have one tool that does it all

 

the magnet on the back sells me, does this stick to the corner metal on the wall?

 

Husky rechargeable LED light. 17hrs run time. Very portable and adjustable in every direction. The light itself can be used alone as a flashlight. Plenty bright. I've used it during a power outage and all the predictable garage projects. $50 bucks is a reasonable price IMO

 

I love them all so much, it's not fair to ask for just one!

#1: These, comes with 5 lens sets, has LED light, fully adjustable, around nine bucks on Fleabay.




#2: Not quite sure how I lived without it. Set of impact sockets to go with it.



#3 I love this one. I have an old original with the indicator bar but it only goes to 150 ft/lbs.


I'll stop there LOL

 

Is that one of the secrets the tool companies don't want you to know

 

even though they are pretty big for a mobile toolbox, I keep a set of these in my traveling box

 

I love all my tools equally.



Here's one I've been finding handy lately. The Gridfinity project. It's an open source organization system, with bins and containers of any configuration. I've been using it around the house and tool box, and it's made shit look like I know what I'm doing.

It keeps the tools tucked in exactly the way I want.

 

And one more. The real tool that I carry everywhere.





Razorlite disposable blade knife. Its freakishly sharp and yet cheap enough that it doesnt hurt my feelings if I thrash one.

 

I despise organized people,,,,,
no really I admire people with this ability to organize,, have a good friend and a BIL that have this talent, and I think it is a talent. I try and try and I end up in the corner sucking my thumb, aggravating to say the least.

This a good thread, really enjoy it.

 

It’s got a magnetic mount, helpful with steel stud or on corner metal but I was using it for everything from concrete, excavation, framing, windows, decks, etc.
