What’s your favorite Tool?

[Treadup]

I enjoy working with tools, buying tools, researching tools and recently watching a lot of Tested with Adam Savage. Came across This episode today where he talks about a Milwaukee socket set. I really like organization and the sets he shows are pretty cool.
My shop isn’t perfect but it has the potential for sure. I find my 4x8 pegboard super useful but really need to buy a bigger tool box. I currently have tools spread between the pegboard and three other tool boxes.
So, what’s something in your shop/garage you think everyone should have?

Toolbox Widgets are one of my most recent purchases.

Here’s some of my favorites.

Also, $11 USA made garden sprayer with a 6” long piece of 5/16 brake line as a nozzle = pressure pot for gear oil

@GTI Jake I actually thought of that video you shared when I made this post. Good stuff.

These long handle ratcheting flex head wrenches and my Milwaukee lineup. The 3/8" right angle impact is so awesome

We use ingersoll rand 90s at work but for some reason we have trouble getting them through customs here in Mexico. I ordered the M12 90 deg ratchets for the techs and the loved them. Much more compact and lighter than the industrial ingersoll rand ones.
That setup you have @jay745 is right up my alley. I saw @GTI Jake had several Milwaukee power tools in his shop and on the video he posted. Great stuff for sure.

To what has been said, only to add these 2.
One for tight spaces like turbo spaces and the other because if you have not a build in torque hand you will need one of these...

Forgot flush cuts for zip ties

VCDS

I have an OBD11. Need to check out Humble Mechanics new video up regarding VCDS / OBD11. I have not personally used a VCDS

A M12 Fuel 3/8 ratchet is on my short list. I was leaning towards 1/4 drive, but after putting hands on several models the 3/8 isn’t much larger and the brushless performance of the “fuel” models is always worth the slight premium in my experience.

Bro. What the hell is going on with that cropping on the second image?!?!

I've become very partial to my Milwaukee stubby impact. Its found its way up to being one of my favorite tools. I have one of the 3/8" M12 ratchets, and hardly ever use it.

Opiate

Milwaukee for power tools (both M18 and M12), DeWalt for bit (often on sale), Wera, Knipex, Gedore, NWS, Klein for hand tools, Grip-On for vise grips, Wright for wrenches and Engineer/Vampire for tools to remove stuck/stripped screws

I use several of Milwaukees cordless tools. My first being over 10 years ago, and it’s still going. They’re my first choice when shopping for new tools.
