Best tool you've ever had

xtraoldestocke · May 27, 2017

Mine,hands down, is a Milwaukee Hole Hawg I purchased new in 1986. I've only changed the brushes twice and power cord once. The thing has been awesome for over 30 years. Even today someone tried to trade me a new one straight across for mine. Not a chance.

I myself am a Milwaukee man and an Old Milwaukee man as well.
Always been rugged and reliable

Milwaukee is the best in my books as well!

Badazz tool above....I bet that thing makes mince meat out of wood quickly!

Hands are the best tools indeed

the best tool I've ever had is called "Stanley " and he's never let me down :poke:

before you ask , I'm not posting pics of him . but when he gets angry he does a good impression on the incredible hulk

Back when I did residential electrical. This was our savior imagine it powered not battery operated. And its Milwaukee as well. And as for that hole hog we called those arm breakers. They can mess you up in a second when they bind up.

Definitely use a wide stance and both hands when using the hole hog.

Glad to hear all the mopar men using Milwaukee. I have dozens of the lithium 18 volt tools. Use the he'll out of them and still they work. I must say the new fuel line are Every bit as tough as advertised. The sawzall and 1/2" impact are the "bees knees"

Not a power tool but I love my Leatherman . I use it everyday many times and feel naked without it. Screwdrivers, wire cutters, knife, pliers...

Z-Man · May 28, 2017

I would also have to say it's my Leatherman 200. Best gift I ever got in tools.

My favorite tool is her favorite tool!

I've got a hole hog as well. Great tool. I've drilled thousands of holes with it. Made a lot of dough with it.

My 2 post lift ranks up near the top.
My Iwata HVLP
My mig
My bench vice.

Way too hard to say which is top dog

Not a tool, but deck screws have saved me loads of time. From not having to use nails when putting something together. To making something temporary, that can be taken apart easily with a screw gun. And yes I have been using Milwaukee Tools for at least five years. My fave in the eighteen volt, quarter inch impact driver.

I am lucky enough to have a decent assortment of good tools. But I have to say my most useful tool is my small pocket knife I have in my pocket. It come out multiple times every day for various reasons. I don't feel dressed without it, and I hate flying because I don't have it with me.
