Do you have a favorite tool?

once you learn how to sharpen drill bits on them it will save you alot of money in bits alone. I have some bits that I have snapped,broken and resharpened so many times they are just lil nubs at this point.

That's a good point! However, I must admit I was thinking of knives rather than bits  I have a certain chef's knife that tried to smash a grapefruit rather than cut it the other day

If you're anything like me, always dropping bolts, nuts, washers, wrenches, etc. Then THE must have tool and the most often used has got to be my magnetic pick up tool. It's NEVER out of arms reach when I'm working on anything. LOL

I think I found a new favorite, Well maybe close favorite.
I am going to need a bigger garage. Picked it up for two bills

for me, it's a tossup.

medium vice grips, or a 4 in 1 screwdriver.

together, a formidable pair

Just a little advice from someone who sharpens knives daily. The grinder will sharpen you knives fast, but will burn the edge and it will loose its temper. Then the blade will dull very fast. Get yourself a good sharpening stone, then watch a few videos on how to sharpen knives. Its a skill you keep forever, and you will get lots of practice as all your friends will ask you to sharpen their knives!!

My Leatherman... I don't go anywhere without it. It's on my side at ALL times.
I use it almost every day for one thing or another and I feel like I walk lop sided if it's not on my belt haha

Klein wire stripper/cutters. I have had a pair either in my back pocked or within reach for most of my adult life.

May favorite tool would be a tire repair kit. Why coz for 1 I won't be stuck having a flat tire and secondly I can use the Rugged Aluminum Hand Tools as a weapon just in case. I'm using Smittybilt brand which I bought from  4 Wheel Online.
