What’s Your Favourite Tool?

Nice. I used a hand drill similar to that many times when I was an alarm installer. They do come in handy for delicate jobs.

I don't make things often any more, so I guess my favorite tool (set) is the combination wrenches my lovely bought me that are open on one end and ratcheting on the other. They are nice to have.

I don't have photos, but my wife's grandfather was a woodworker and she inherited some cool, very old tools from him. Some are even hand crafted by the man himself.

 

Looks like the focus is on non power tools. So I'm going with channel lock pliers.

 

There can be only one a Hammer

 

Harley rider?

 

When all else fails,

Wouldn’t know where to start as I work on the tools. I’ve so many specialist tools that are favourites.

 

Torque wrench - so satisfying when you know everything is done properly

 

(In my best Crocodile Dundee voice)
"That's not a hammer. THIS is a hammer." My father-in-law's war loot, passed on to me. A hammer doubling as a wrench, stamped Reichsheer 1938.

 

Braggart!

 

Duck,
Ya most useful tool has got to be your brain....comes in handy for all sorts, sometimes.
Ken.

 

Impressive!

 

If we're going to escalate, here's one of my favorite tools:

 

My brother-in-law once put a ten penny nail in his shin bone with a pneumatic nail gun. It was cool (to me, not to him).

 

Yeah, it's true of guns, you don't need one until you do.
