Whats your favorite tool in your garage.

[CARO'S98EB]

I work as a Ford tech my favorite is my IDS. Of the rest it is my cordless 18v impact.

My 6'x12' CNC cutting table, 20ga to 4". Does both oxy/fuel and plaz. It sits in the spot that our '72 Scout II used to sit.

You guys beat me to it. I use all my tools but my dad always told me while we were working on cars, your brain is the best and most used tool you can use. There is nothing worse in the mechanic world than an idiot with a wrench trying to paint car with WD40.

I don't have a Garage.... wish I did! I have a shed I keep tools in.... I would have to say the Socket Wrench. It is always needed and is so handy!

My favorite tool right now is probably my 175 amp LIncoln MIG welder. Use that with some of my other tools/toys and well, there isn't much that I couldn't do. haven't been able to use it lately since where I live doesn't have a 220V plug in the garage. Granted, I am looking at a table like what WSS1 has and then, oh boy. There will be lots of goodies coming my way.

I'm looking at getting me a forge so I can make me some damascus steel. Then I can have some fun making some very interesting things for my vehicles. But, that will come with time. need to get a house first.

As a mechanic there is no real way to pin point a favorite tool, my 1157 ft lb 1/2inch impact or the good ol blue wrench since I work on mainly gm vehicles I really like tech 2, allows me to view more than just codes, in fact way more than a snap on souls does.

Lately one of my most used tools is my laptop. Actually two of them.. one that enables me to modify/write my tunes and the other used to datalog in the truck. But I dont keep them in the garage so maybe it doesnt apply...

Agreed. The best combo is a code reader and this older than dirt Dell laptop that I can get greasy if need be. Google can think for me when stuff is over my head. A close third is a multimeter for testing sensors.

I'll add a tool I recently added to my box, a power probe (model III). Love it

Old thread, but I'm gonna put the paddles on her and bring her back. How about my air compressor, it drives all my favorite time saving tools. When I was 20 I put a lift kit on my Jeep and the u bolts that attached the leaf springs were 7 miles long and fine threaded. At that moment I learned that an air compressor and an air ratchet would be in my arsenal forever.

My 24" snap on pry bar.

Can put a 4' snipe on the end of that thing, bend it like an over-cooked spaghetti noodle, and still have it come back straight.

Sawzall

And then the grinder or welder it's hard to say

Lift, once you get past a certain age concrete is not your friend. I still use a creeper now and again but once you have a lift almost everthing is easier and faster.

It's a tie between PB Blaster and my Sawzall though I'm leaning more towards the latter... I haven't cut down a tree with PB yet and I have with the Sawzall
