what is your favourite tool

[mercutio]

what tool do you own that you would miss the most

mine would be a slide hammer i made when i did my BMETS at polytech a few years back it isn't a big one but it has come in handy so many times i'm sure yorick would miss it too if i took it out of his workshop

[Dace]

I would have to say my Impact gun. definatly makes taking rims off and on a less strenious experience

[Bubba]

The one in my pocket, I seem to be always reaching for it

Use to call it the "one bar heater" in the bush as it always keeps your hands warm, many other uses as well

[Sadam_Husain]

I'm afraid Tui always comes first before tools

Every tool is a hammer, except screwdrivers which are chisels.

They are hammers to. Gotta have something to whack the end of your 'chisel' with and another screwdriver is usually the closest thing

My favorite tool is probably the gas soldering iron/blow torch I just bought of trademe. They are so bloody handy.

HAHA what good am i?

[KiwiBacon]

Prob my 3/8" socket set.
Small enough for everything but the most fiddly bolts, big enough to unbolt a motor and gearbox.

[Furgus]

Just look at my sig line for the answer......

[Heath]

currently my 1/2 inch drive ratchet that is only 5 inches long and has a swivel between the handle and the ratchet mechanism. If I can get my hand into a gap I can use this thing - Brilliant.

My next favourite is the little green box we use to set off explosives, not that it is impressive or flashy but the end results are ...... Cool.

[De-Ranged]

Mig welder followed closely by the 5" grinder, just can't beat that sence of acheivement from glueing bits of steel together and having whats in your minds eye appair before ya

[coxsy]

600 mm ratchet koken brand 200lbs of touque, moves most bolts or nuts

3/4"?
My brother broke one of those on his 40t bulldozer. Koken replaced the ratchet moving parts with no questions asked. Gotta love em.

[coxsy]

have one of each 1/2 an 3/4 a fitter welder who does a lot of fitting

[nzhunter]

600 mm ratchet koken brand 200lbs of touque, moves most bolts or nuts

We've got a 1" one at work would have to be at least a 1000mm in length and can do up to 600 ft lbs of torque, when that isn't good enough we have another adapter which takes it 3 times of what ever it is so can get up to around 1800 ft lbs of torque. Rad ha?!

Um my favourite tools would have to be either my ratchet spanner set or the big blue hammer (oxy acetylene gas torch lol)

[surf_tomo]

8 shot pump action shot gun

[MNC]

rex is my favourite 'tool'..

what? oh... you mean inanimate object? yeah.. thats him too...

[safari_mulisha]

my plasma cutter and soon to be my lathe

[pagar]

its a hard one, either my cordless rattlegun or my sabre saw, faster than my cut of saw for cutting bits of steel to weld onto my truck... other than that the one in my pants... only cause we've been together such a long time...... lol

[gary_in_nz]

i would have to say a can of CRC really, lots of rusty bits everywhere then the good old Teng 1/2 inch socket set, with 800mm sid galv pipe extension.

[ike]

So you're all petrol heads, but only one good bugger has chosen his chainsaw as favourite tool???!!

I've only got a cheap Ryobi chainsaw (hey, i'm young and have a mortgage - what am i gonna do?) but not only does it stay surprisingly sharp and start really easily... but it is the perfect combination of hand tools and engines

Mmmmmmm engines and tools combined..... **drool**
