Best tool & favourite tool

[vc commodore]

I have a few tools that I really love.
My compressor has made a big difference.
My ⅜ Snapon Ratchet.
My No.4 Record Vice (circa 1950’s)
My old school Stanley screw drivers

My favourite tool? Hmm that’s a hard one though.

I think my snap on 3/8th ratchet.

Have you had trouble with your 3/8 ratchet snapping off the lever that determines the direction the ratchetting goes?

My one has broken that lever, which is annoying, as that ratchet had a flexible head

Please stop, you're sounding like my wife.

My missus seems to be impressed by the range of tools and equipment I have - you just need to be careful about how you inform them of your purchase.

Just like my beissbarth servomat tyre changer I have at my parents place.

She had a flat tyre, so took that opportunity to introduce her to it last week. I’ve had it for 4 years

Has flexible head. Like so many ladies I’ve known, it’s never let me down.

I’m trying to think how long I’ve had it? Maybe 20 years?

What's the cohorts thoughts on a degree indicator. Who uses one? I'm doing a bit more nm +degree these days. I've just used a protracter, eyeballed it and stuck my tongue out. Should I care more?

The only ones I can remember are the Harley twin-cam head bolts (xx plus 90°).
I literally vivid (sharpy) a straight line across the bolt head in line and then turn until it points straight out.
I'm not sure what I would do if it was 30° or something though.

@hademall getting all…

I didn’t think you knew that side of me so well! Did I ever tell you about my mother of pearl handbag?

Have you guys seen a therapist about your apparent obsession with tools?

That would cost money which could otherwise be spent on tools

No. Just your necklace.

 

[hademall]

No. Just your necklace.

Well I had to tell you something after you found it in your frilly underwear drawer.

After today's effort on the cooks car, my favorite tool is again my 1/2 breaker bar from TTI. That thing has done some work in the last 10 years.. Plus a special mention to my 1 inch thick stainless drift from the wife's late grandad. That gets anything out of the way
