what is the best tool in your box

[uber cool]

I have a 1/2 " ring spanner I'm quite fond of and like to stroke :mrgreen:
Should I be worried :shock:

 

[lobus]

I've got a couple of trolley jacks, one big one in the shed and a smaller one for on the road. Of course since I've had the little one I've never had a flat tyre so there you go!

Probably tomorrow though, now I've mentioned it.

Also can't go past the angle grinder or the cordless drill/screwdriver.

So I suppose it's a dead heat between those 4

I still stand by my 'brain' suggestion, but...

It has to the welder - we all know that welding is pretty cool!! 8) (Mind you, I didn't think it was quite so cool last week when I got a bit of 'arc-eye' :evil:

Mind you, I sometimes go out to the garage and just stare at my lovely socket set all set out in the drawers of my tool box...

The Kettle.........(dont class T-bags and Milk as tools )

 

[lemonyellow]

after the last few weeks,it would have to be a sweeping brush and shovel

I was thinking of this thread today when I was working o my van, I haven't really got a fave tool, but i do have a spanner that makes me smile, it has thename RON engraved on it, I'm not quite sure who Ron is, but im dam sure he doesnt know I have one of his spanners lol

I know childish but my King Dick spanners always raise an inner chuckle......

 

[ProfessorWheeto]

Hard to choose really, amassed some quite gucchi tools now

Britool Pistol Grip Ratchet Screwdriver, bought a stubby shank for it off the snap on man so its even more useful

Quite fond of my blue point ratchet spanners (second set after the first got nicked :roll: ) and all my magnetic pick up tools have saved me some hours!

Bought me a set of these today as well...
