ok we know the worst tool, what's the best tool you ever bought

[3sloppydogs]

I think I would have to say a 5 piece blue point screwdriver set. Half the price, twice as nice or my Miller might welder
But its a tough call as I have several and could consider my Sthil chainsaw

This:

The car lift is a game changer in every sense of the word.

 

[3sloppydogs]

I agree thought about that after I posted
Some well spent money there and on my bike lift

I'll do you one better....

Rub it in KD!
Here is one of my favorite tools. After many mods she is a Gem!

MS391 with a 20" bar..

 

[T2R9]

Agree with KD. I was 57 when I finally got mine. Oh man this thing rocks.

 

[metaldad]

my mighty mayhem!

 

[Big Bad Dad]

Best big tool = this.....

 

[HawkRod]

Yeah, I have to agree with KD as well on this too. My lift has paid for itself in safety and things I have been able to do that I couldn't do before. Indispensable!!!!

Plus, you can store two cars for the space of one!!!

Makita 4 inch grinder. So useful for so many things. Second place... maybe my cordless drill.

Snap On Phillips head screw drivers.

Nothing better, they are relieved on the lower point of the contact points and have 3 serrations along each contact face. They hold the Phillips head better than a GI Joe with King Fu grip holds his Bowie knife.

Victorinox Super Tinkerer Swiss Army Knife and my Glock 43. I never leave home without them.

Late last week, the Wife saw an ad special.
Two Milwaukee M18 batteries, a charger and ONE of several tools. I got this:

I only chose this because I already had several other of the tools on their list.
This is called a "Multi-tool". It allows plunge cuts to be made in wood, stucco, brick, tile, other stuff too, apparently.
I haven't used it yet.

Is that anything like this tool?

 

[Mackman]

Stihl 028 chainsaw. Bought in 1978, still use it regularly.

Backing up a ways....
Air compressor. Yes!
I bought my first way back in 1992. The ability to air up tires and operate an air ratchet was GREAT! Soon thereafter I was doing bodywork and paint. I started off with a Sears Craftsman 3 HP horizontal tank then graduated to a bigger one, then a HUGE one.

Those are very useful tools in carpentry. I saw the two batteries, charger and tool deal, I got the impact wrench.
