I find that driving Fords, most of the time that I am working on mine it is to enhance something rather than repair it!!!!!

re: What is your favorite tool?
I have 2 that I can't be without- My Lincoln Migpak 100 welder and my Southbend 9" Lathe. Along with the rest of my equipment, there isn't much I can't build or rebuild. I'm not sure if I've saved a lot of money, (considering what my tools have cost) but, I don't have to rely on someone else or wait to get something. And, things get done MY way, though sometimes not the RIGHT way!
Made my first million.....too bad it was mistakes..not dollars! Now pass me that crescent hammer.

re: What is your favorite tool?
I'm with Keith. My most used tool is probably the angle grinder. It's a Milwaukee, and it's great!
Probably my next favorite is my reciprocating saw. It's a green Black & Decker Quantum model. I've had it since the early '90s.

you can ford a river or stream and get to the other side, if you dodge it you will not, and if you drive a chevy to the levee it will run dry and the music will die.

re: What is your favorite tool?
I have a 3/8 drive ratchet, I inherited from my father. One tool I didn't loose when I was kid. It's a Power Kraft, and ever time I miss place it or can't find it I tear up the garage and the last place it was used till I find it. It's not cause it was my fathers but it works so well, smooth fine, toothed, never have to hold the socket to stop it from turning back.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

I couldn't pinpoint one single favorite tool. Compressors are cool, but I need one that puts out more cfm for the impact gun. Some of my favorite tools are not related to vehicles. They are my nail gun, palm nailer, aluminum pipe wrenches, Ridgid 300 pipe threader and one recent favorites is my Stilleto titanium hammer. That's one sweet hammer. Who could have thought that a 14 ounce hammer can work like a 24 ounce hammer. Less fatigue.

My wife. Always there to lend a hand when needed. Otherwise, it's a toss up between the air compressor and the hobart 140 MIG.
