Default What are your favorite tools.

I know I have mine so I am just curious what you all view as your favorites, these can be literally any tool. Thanks for your answers and for giving a view into the shops and garages that make all of these cars possible.

My everyday go to is my 14.4v snap on battery impact and mid length matco 3/8 sockets. The life of a GM tech.

Plasma cutter, then BFH. LOL.

Picked up the plasma cutter and had to control myself or all of the cutlery would have been "slightly modified" and wife would have been upset.

Wish I had a gantry setup for the plasma cutter. Ah well, on the to do list with some programming.

Just picked up some Milwaukee Fuel brushless motor 18v tools. Not sure I'll ever use air tools again.

Not like the older battery stuff I am used to. The impacts really work well, better than my air versions.

You younger members won't believe me, (at least not for another 20 to 30 years), but the one tool I seem to always be grabbing nowadays would be....my flashlight.
Damn, I sure wish I could see things like I used to!
