Best.Tool.Ever.

Mainly because I didn't know they made these things. Pricey... but... the bloody knuckles this could save me...

No justin biebers or edward cullin's please. just keep it mechanical.

This big feller is pretty useful:

It won't fit into tight spaces, but I'm extremely happy with it as a glovebox tool. If I need a smaller tool for a tighter space, I keep it in the shop. This is probably the best glovebox tool ever...

This is #2 for the glovebox:

The tool I use the most though, hands down, would be a torque wrench. I have 3, sadly all are 1/2" drive. :( I may attempt to trade one of them for a 3/8" drive, currently I just use a 1/2-3/8 adapter when necessary.

I need one of those! :welder:

I had one long ago, but misplaced it in my most recent move. :( I've been using a tiny air powered cutter for my grinding/cutting needs... I need a real grinder, that isn't bench mounted!

I dont even use a grinding disk on it lol, I use cutting wheels for everything :) I should use my bench grinder more, but it is hard in a condo :roll:

My neighbors dont like me much some times. Especially when I paint bumpers and such on the Patio then let them dry in the condo... the hallways tend to get a little fumy :pimp:

I want that puller. You should get a claw for it then pulling axles would be a cinch.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
