Favorite tool you own
Fav tool you own, or favorite one you've modified or "invented"?
I don't have a lot of tools but my Craftsman socket set is the one I use the most.
I sewed knee pads from motocross pants into my Walls coveralls for crawling around on the ground, kind of a modification I guess.
A cheap [$20] office chair with the back rest removed and a shallow baking pan attached to the legs is my shop chair, [NOT the one pictured], no use in paying $80 for a "real" one.
It doesn't have that cool Matco tools logo though

I would have to say my favorite tool is my tool box. I did have it painted army green, but now it is sprayed with black under coating...
I normally keep some sockets, wratchets, wrenches, PB Blaster, flat and phillips screw drives, wire cutters and plyers in it.
Its always ready to go to the junk yards...

This is a hard one, but I would have to say the best tool I own besides the miller 251, the 24V dewalt drill, is my deep cut portaban. I use it so much, I don't know what I would do without it. I picked it up from a pawn shop, damn near stole it!

My favorite tool is my Leatherman. I use it more than any other tool in my bag or box.

They are called water pump pliers because plumbers use them instead of carrying several other tools/wrenches and stuff. They adjust to many many different sizes and shapes for differerent fittings.
I personally like my vise-grips. You can clamp/bend/break/crimp/fix/and use them as a handle for just about anything.
