Hey guys I thought it'd be cool if we listed our favorite tools that we frequently use.
I'll start,my favorite tools are my extending magnet makes getting fallen items out of hard to reach places a cinch.

My second would be my air compressor I love air tools they are so nice to have.

My 3rd would be my scanner makes diagnosing any car a lot easier!

Your turn!

Bigass breaker bar, followed closely by socket extensions. I know, nothing special, but imagine life without them.

Magnets are excellent too.

Probably the 2.5ton low profile racing rack w/ stands if that counts as a tool.

Jack-stands, the peace of mind from not having to worry about a jack failing is worth a lot.

Wiring in new sound system? Ratchet set.

What is wrong with you kids today that you need other people's approval for what you do?

im confused as to why you are angry?
most people have a favorite tool,just like they have favorite cars or favorite food.

i don't need nor am i searching for approval from my peers,i simply want to engage in a conversation,about the tools we love to use.
