So, What is your FAVORITE TOOL?

[ALEXGAR]

Okay, when a simple tool saves me a bunch of money I kinda get a little cozy with it.

Two years ago my wife gave me a digital OHM/Volt meter and I have easily saved over $1,000.00 in repairs (automotive AND washer/dryer).

So...what's your favorite tool?

Welder, b/c fabbing stuff is the funnest part of working on the cruiser.

 

[Turkeypen]

My #2 Phillips Head Screwdriver

Why, because after 2 weekends of work replacing other parts on my 62, it was a # 2 Phillips head that, in less than a minute this morning, loosened the Throttle Body Sensor and allowed me to turn the thing a micron,dropping my RPMS back to factory! Cost=$0

that tittle isn't "what is your favorite tool to borrow"

 

[clemson55]

He said whats your favorite tool, that doesnt not mean you have to own it.

skin saver

Toyota's SST drum brake adjusting tool. Saves knuckles and time.

 

[GXO]

this is my weapon...this is my gun...

oh wait, you mean like in the shop?

Simple pleasures...impact wrench. Love using it every time.

#2 will be the 50# 1" magnet I ordered yesterday...cause that is just cool.

 

[Trollhole]

3/8 Air ratchet. By far the best tool I own. Has saved me hundreds of hrs in repair time.

#2 would be the die grinder with a wire brush on the end.

x2 on the welder.

I used to borrow a Lincoln 125 Flux core welder until I got the Millermatic 210. What a difference!

Second would definitely be my Gear Wrenches (ratcheting combo wrenches) These are awesome for places sockets won't reach! If you ever see them on sale, definitely pick them up.

Thats not a tool. Thats standard equiptment on a cruiser. Or at least on mine.

 

[GXO]

Mine is in the center console.

Not to wax Philosophical but

The best tools in my shop are the good friends that are available anytime to get greasy,dirty, grungy. Even if its their cruiser thats getting the attention.




And of course two curly girls of your aquaintance.

 

[CruisinTiger]

Mine is my headlamp.....nothin like having 2 hands to work on the engine and have light available to see where you dropped that dang nut.
