what's your favorite tool?

[ricebike]

1: the dremel tool

i was helping my lil brother install a rear strut bar on his eclipse & the plastic panels were in the way of the mounting adaptors<-->bar, so i break out the tool w/ a cutting/sanding disc & cut out a bigger opening... soo many uses!

2: multimeter

$2.99 @ harborfreight so i got 2 of 'em; both my lil bro & i don't have any excuses about electrical now!

3: torque wrench

don't want my nutz to fall off--- i mean lug nuts or brake rotors to warp d/t over tightening...

what's your top 3 fav tools?

[ultimatuc]

dremel

gear wrenches

swivel sockets

these items make life very easy in most cases.

You sum*****...

I like to use chainsaws to cut up people like Bud, then I put them in the mulcher, and finally the trash compactor makes them nice and small.

[Mr1der]

1-Custom 1911

2-Very Well made knife

3-A welder

4-My Van fool, don't you touch my Van!

[Jesda]

I dont know how to use anything but a philips head or flathead screwdriver. So I'm going to pick the philips as my favorite.

[[Zero-S]]

well considering that all you really need to work on your car is a screwdriver...

[j-z]

welder is my favorite tool. you can do/make anything with that.

Now that Cold_Zero introduced the subject of "tools" I'd have to say mine would be SeVA

[SeVa-S13]

Rob loves my tool. <3

[Zydeco]

A 5 pound hammer and a roll of duct tape is all i need.Edit: JB Weld too.

[fiznat]

1. linesman's pliers!!

they're good for banging things, grabbing things, twisting things, breaking things, cutting things... everything. no garage should be without a good set of Klein linesmans!

2. Socket set with all the fixins'

yea yea I know it's pretty much the standard (metric? haha) tool... but you gotta give credit where credit is due... EVERY project needs these things

3. Sawzall.

hell yes.

[navysnail]

id have to say impact wrench and impact screwdriver, i hate having to almost strip a screw or bolt, and you use one of those, never any problem.

oh, mr1der, id think your favorite tool would be a warhamer?

[MainEvent212]

i'd have to say the LARGEST sledge hammer you've got...that's my favorite

i enjoy the dremel but it's kind of a ***** in the way of cutoff tools...i like the air cutoff tools that we have in auto tech at schoo heh those are great

[navysnail]

air tools of any kind rule.also, those special tools like slide hammer

and if a lift is a tool, thats the best, we have one of those 7 ton lifts at school, its awsome, i wish i had one in my garage

[rousie13]

When I get my own house, I'm putting a lift in my garage. No more crawling on my back for me.

[MainEvent212]

:werd

[dr!ft]

The one cool thing about being in high school is all the cool tools my auto shop has. Air ratchets, brake lathe, tire mount machines (x2), lifts (x3), alignment rack, dremels, impact guns, infrared scanner, OBD scan tool, Oscilliscopes (x3), welders, etc...

And best of all: a plasma cutter.

[Cold_Zero]

I took the dremel today and sharpened my lawnmower blade. I wanted it sharp as a Samurai Sword. After I was done, I promptly cut myself on it trying to put the blade back on.

[navysnail]

the board of education is taking away our plasma cutters and welders

they say that since welding and cutting is not automotive related ( what a bunch of bull ****)we only have 2 lifts, alignment tools ( a tape measure and a thing to draw a base line on the tire for toe and a camber gauge that goes on the hub), i occiliscope from the 80's, etc... but it all works fine, and i do have the coolest teacher in the entire world and a bunch of air tools:)

GAY. Fight for that shyt...I mean they've already bought it, whats the point in taking it away now. I'd kill to have access to a welder and plasma cutter.
