Thought this would be a good way to share that special favorite tool of yours with everyone. Maybe it is something you discovered that saves time or makes things easier that others might not know about. Just washed the car and used this to pre-dry it. I really like this. Saves lots of time. Dustin loaned me one at funfest last year and I had to have one.   This is my other one: Kenn told me it is for removing kotter pins. I use it for tons of stuff. It is really good for installing window rubber.  |

Of course everyone knew about these.

I love my portable battery jumper box. Charge it up at the house and take it everywhere, Mine has a cigarette lighter outlet so I can plug in all my 12 volt accessories. It even got me home a couple miles when the altenator went out

Well my favorite tools or most used tools would have to be my metric nut driver set, my metric gear wrenches and my torque wrench.

Rod bolt stretch guage, Torque meister (torque tool), and the tool that I made for removing oil filler nuts AND the plugs for the oil pressure springs (yes, both!), ooh, and the slide hammer that I made for removing the oil galley plugs in engine cases.

My current favorite tool is the brake bleeder I made from a garden sprayer. It took a an undesirable job and turned it into a fun one. Well, maybe not fun, but definitely more rewarding!

Torque tool, and portaband. Although the portaband isnt technicaly mine, its my works, but it stays with me almost always (in my van) and has had more of a workout in my garage than at work. Came in realy handy when narrowing my beam. ;D

But there's still nothing quite as nice as a good quality ratchet or wrenches.
