Long flexible magnetic pick up tool...for all the fasteners I manage to drop into strange places.

Koul tool, a little pricey but if your doing a bunch of AN fittings well worth it.

Turret flair tool for perfect double flair. I went from a %50 success to %100 with this

Long reach house clamp pliers. Perfect for getting those factory spring loaded clamps on out of reach hoses. They are about $20.00, cheapest on my list

The Kool tools for braided lines work fantastic. Bought my 3 set at a swap meet for $20

This tool aids in troubleshooting, sheet metal alignment, clarifies engine noises, helps determine color matching of paints, aids in electrical and fuel delivery troubleshooting, adds clarity to projects.... as well as takes that clarity away, and settles arguments.....then starts those arguments again later.

I got a ton of use out of this spring compressor over the years... https://www.jegs.com/i/OTC+Tools/71...zgbWF9B09nxX2KuhGqlu-nF9IdlUichoCFM8QAvD_BwE#

My favorite is the correct one(s) for the job. If I don't have it I try to make it. I hate finding myself in situations where I have to make something else work, especially when it starts getting sketchy

The things at the ends of my arms lately are usually holding about a 3-4 foot stick of PVC pipe wrapped in sandpaper. Used properly, it reveals all lies told by all sanding blocks so it is my favorite. Defining it as a tool may be a laugh-and-point thing for hobbyists.

Cordless Dremel - really use that one a lot.

I received this tool chest from my uncle when he passed (dated December 1970). He was a mechanic in my grandfather’s garage. What’s even better are tools that are hand edged with “George” so he could always find his tools in the garage.

Have a pair of Channellock brand dikes that I have had for ever and are my favorite right next to my Makita 1/2 electric impact.

Wow look at that Dinky air filter on a 396

Don't worry... it will grow when it sees what is looking at it.

I’d say socket rails. Went for decades without spending several minutes trying to find each socket. Get the one I need in seconds.

Absolutely. Tool organizers are a must in a tool box.

You know you're getting old when you're looking at a Hot gal and notice "Wow look at that Dinky air filter on a 396"

Same thought here.

Anyone have the Olsa magnetic upright socket trays? I have some flay socket trays and they just take up too much room.

What air cleaner?

I was not expecting rear quarter panel extensions on a Camaro though.

Currently my MIlermatic 141 is my favorite tool.

Love my 4" long Ignition pliers. Made by a lot of companies, you can get a death grip on anything with them.

This thing has got me out of a LOT of jams. Only thing I don't like about it is the allen heads come loose from time to time. It helps to have the swivel head, means you still have the torque of the long handle but can use it at a better angle if possible. It's indispensable if you ever have to run torque to yield head bolts down on an LS engine in the vehicle.
