DeWalt 18 volt cordless drill... The hammer is used when the battery goes dead... :D

My Beer Fridge. :beers:

Actually, I've burnt out 2 sets of contacts in my el cheapo angle grinder since I started this project a couple years ago. Good with the zip disc, grinding wheel, and wire wheel. Pretty handy tool.

Just wish I could get better at the welder now.:sad:

:D I got one about double the size a few weeks ago for $500. It was boxed up in a lifted Chevy SWB 4x4 :D

You can't have too many hammers IMO :cool:

ME! I have been called a tool on many occasions. My hands are pretty good tools though.

You know the old saying, "Measure six times, Cut once".

I'd have to say the Knipex Plier Wrench is my favorite hand tool. They have a large range, are quick to adjust, and take up less space than all the wrenches and pliers they replace. I actually have three, a 7", a 12", and a 10" curved jaw set. They confuse a lot of people when they try to adjust them, but once you've got them down, they can't be beat. :cool:

My Dremel. That tool has saved me time and again on projects from the car(s) to fence building to cabinets, crown moulding installs and door frame repairs. Every time I get stuck I find a fix outta that little sucker. Even cut the dogs nails with it.

My second favorite tool is beer because it helps me to forget the damage I did from not having the right tool.

Not to hijack the thread, but isn't this what every garage looks like while restoring a car? Car in pieces, tranny fluid on floor with kitty litter soaking it up, tools everywhere on the interior of the car, grinding away.... brings back many memories!!!!

My real favorite tool for working on the car is my combination 1/2"-9/16" box end wrench. Their ain't much you can't do on a chevelle with that one wrench.

My second favorite is the 4 1/2" angle grinder. Man that thing gets used for everything.

I've always said, If you can't fix it with a hammer, you need a bigger hammer.
My favorite tool is probably my 3/8" air ratcher with swivel sockets. Zips 'em out and zips 'em in.

Every tool I own seems to be my favorite at a perticular time. Even my 3 bay Matco tool box ranks right up there too. However, one of my favorite tools is one I dont own yet. A nice welder. Planning to make that purchase this summer.
