I like the gear wrenches, VOM, and torque wrenches... Those 3 things are good tools.

Then again, I got one tool that surpasses them all ;)

At college, I have access to a plasma cutter, TIG and MIG welders, CNC machine, bridgeports, lathes. Can't really fix a car there, but I can make parts for em.

That's ****ed up. Are you supposed to be holding **** together with string and duct tape?

As for favorite tool, I suppose I'm gonna have to say torque wrench + a nice set of sockets.

I'd love to get a Snap-On or Mac torque wrench, but I think I'd have to sell a kidney (not my own).
