If you had to bolt and could take only one tool from your tool box what would it be ?

For me it's my Mac 1/4 socket set. I bought it quite a few years ago and it cost a small fortune. But over the years it really is the most used out of all my tools.

 

Surely tool is singular so sets don't count?

As I'm a plumber I'd say my bahco adjustable spanner!

 

makita 18v lxt impact driver for me lyk well worth the money

 

18v snap on impact gun

 

tools come break and go...but my fluke digital multimeter has lasted me 25 years and shows no signs of going anywhere.

 

Cryers elevator.
The last tool in the box when nothing else will do the job!

 

3lb lump hammer - slightly more versatile than my angle grinder but can be used to fix most things

 

My wire strippers. For years i would struggle with a knige and bodge it. Then i fou d these that strp so easy. I love everytime i use them

 

Well, I had to Google that one

 

Those kniges are a pig to work with!

 

haha you p1ssed

 

Fleximagnet to pick up my favourite tool that I dropped.

 

Bottle opener

 

13mm spanner, it's the most used spanner i have lol

 

My short handled, wide Jawed adjustable Ergo Bahco spanner, as someone had said above, being a plumber the amount of ****e this tool has got me out of is unvelievable, it would be like loosing an arm if i lost this little fella.

A close second comes a recntly purchased Milwaukee 18v li-ion impact driver, drill and cordless radio. Ive used a lot of cordless kit on site (including Hilti) and this mileaukee stuff kicks shot out of the rest!

No use on a subaru though

 

When it comes to scoobs, the hammer is the #1 tool!

 

+1

 

Definitely my Mikita impact driver

 

My oujamathingumywhatsit.

More often that not its what i reach for time & time again .

Well i figured because the set is all in one compact box i could grab it in an instant rather than search the tool box for all the bits. But yeah i probably cheated just a little

Some interesting suggestion here. Its funny how we have particular favourite tools no matter how many you have or the size of your toolbox. Loads of tools just sit there just in case one day you need them, but there is always one that gets used almost daily.

 

13mm Spanner. Simple yet a life saver on a car

 

When i rode motorbike's i never went out without my 10mm spanner

 

For years I used to struggle with a hacksaw whenever I wanted to cut a bit of plastic water piping, but I've now got a special pipe cutter and it has literally made jobs like that 10 times easier. I don't need to use it very often, but when I do it's there.

 

Being a Honda owner, I don't need to use tools.

 

You need someone younger to wield the spanner ?

 

I wouldn't mind a young female wielding my tool.

 

Just join the AA lol?

 

Yeah their prety reliable apart from door locks and electric window switches.

 

I do miss my Scooby though, that really was a full time hobby.

Plenty of toolbox use then
