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

 

Torch and welder

 

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...

 

Channellocks and BFH.

 

water pump pliers. you can do anything with them. of my modded tools i have a 13mm wrench which we cut the box end off of and on the other side added a half inch open end, its the perfect battery tool

 

My fav tool... all my tools in my tool box. It stays in my jeep and it's almost anything i need to work on my jeep.... and my high lift stupid regular lift is tall enough

 

With out a DOUBT its my 18volt 1/2 drive Snap-on gun. It will take any bolt or nut in any junkyard loose including 1ton lugnuts

 

Two total :my hi-lift, and the big ol' can of PB blaster

 

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!

 

I had to google an image of those, never even heard of them, what do they do pertaining to a water pump?

 

THose are great pliers I have used them before didn't know that is what they were called though.

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.
