Best tool you've ever had

[Bruzilla]

This was the best I ever had. Skil cordless driver. My daughter bought it for me years ago at Walmart for Christmas and I used the crap out of it. Then it eventually died. I sure missed it when I went to install the new power brake booster in the Roadrunner.

My most reliable is a 20 year old Craftsman angle grinder. Have not replaced a thing and it is well abused, runs like a top and still feels tight.

Best tool I ever had?? Ain't no such thing! Well, there have been a few that were total junk only because someone thought I could use some pos that just didn't work for anything but imo, ALL of my tools are the best! The one that makes me feel the best....well, not going there

Probably my speed wrench. Idk why but I love that thing and I rarely get to use it

Up here in the rust belt. My oxy/acetylene outfit.

I oftenwonder what mechanics do in there spare time in the non rust belts where you don't have to waste three hours taking out one bolt. Watch tv? Drink beer?

Fluke T-1000 multi-tester... how many times have I heard "yeah power's off" only to find things were wired wrong or mislabeled, and still hot...yes I use it on cars too!

Probably my Snap-On pry bars.

Sheet rock screws are another useful multi purpose item. You can use them for everything.

Hard to pick a single tool. I use dozens of hand/power tools everyday.
The one I find to be the most versatile is my Milwaukee impact driver
